   The grill cloth is square, 4 or 5".  Probably no separate tweeter and   
   for some reason I think it's probably not coaxial.

   Hmmm.  Maybe.  Either way I should open it up and look.

   I'd have to find a place to sell that stuff, but maybe I coudl get some   
   of my purchase price back.   Radio probably made in China.  Opium or   
   something related.

   Good idea.  i should have thought of that.   
      
   >good with headphones the problem is probably inside the speaker box.   
      
   Writing my previous post, bluetooth output occurred to me.  Going to try   
   that now. 		   
      
      
   Well, the Grace had already found and would pair with/connect to my   
   computer which is more than 40 feet away, farther than I thought normal   
   bluetooth range was, but it won't find the Sangean radio which is one   
   foot above it.  The Sangean Bluetooth is still working because it paired   
   with Alexa as soon as I put the radio on Bluetooth.  In fact, I   
   unplugged Alexa to keep it/her from interfering.   
      
   So I'm fairly sure I can get this to work, but I need some time to think   
   about it.
