Thanks for the reply Bill. I did try the goo gone and it would not soften the
Goo. The stuff was almost ten years old and I am sure that had something to do
with it.
I did end up using your suggestion and managed to carefully cut the speaker out
without damage to the shell or speaker. It only cost me three Exacto blades.
My thanks to all who responded on and offline.
