Excellent news!
So, the preventive measure that nobody cared to speak out loud is to replace the coupling cap? My three Beolits with still intact speakers would be very interested.

Yes, mika, probably worth it for peace of mind, I used 1000uF / 16v on six so far which I iike to imagine helps the bass a bit. You can easily fit much higher values for the same size with modern caps but I worry too higher capacitance could damage the frail germainium output transistors. It's the lower of the two orange or grey caps and it's easier if you remove the speaker first.
