My employer back in the 70¹s and 80s had all three: EMCO 3101 uhf, EMCO 3102, uwave and the EMCO 3103 big uhf, but I honestly don¹t recall the details of the 3103 construction down to the appropriate level of detail...
The back does set flush with the base of the cone. The question is what holds it there... Also the base is phenolic and the cone is fiberglass. Any adhesive experts out there with a recommendation for the proper glue?

It sure seemed to me it was just glued, as I don¹t recall any fasteners. The joint seemed to be flush with the cone. It¹s long gone, so no pictures.
