Thanks Ken, and everyone else. I'm sure it's a bad speaker. The radio 
lights up, and if I turn the volume up all the way, I can  hear a very 
faint signal as I tune the dial. You're all right, I've removed the 
duct, and I see how it all comes out. I bought a replacement dual cone 
speaker from Advance Auto, supposed to fit GM applications...we'll see.  
BTW, can you still buy FM converters, or did they disappear with the 8 
track players.
