Ripped off what was left of the outter speaker gasket and cut out a new one from poster board. Not quite thick enough so I will double up another gasket. speaker rattle seems gone. This set must have been really wet or dropped in a bathtub yet still works.

I'm big on replacing the magnetic speaker with a PM dynamic speaker. An output transformer can be obtained from a tube, battery radio that uses a 3V4 or similar output tube with a 11K or so primary impedance.
BTW, is there a 300 ohm resistor in series with the high end of the volume control? It might be part of the control!
