Yep, mate, I agree about the inductors - I'd leave those well alone. The ones used inside my 66s are very good indeed, and so I'd expect those in the 44s to be of similar quality

Classic speakers like these should be kept as original as possible, but sometimes small tweaks need to be carried out in order to get the best from them - and also crucially to preserve the functionality of the drive units, which of course are very difficult to replace.
