I'm the proud new owner of a near-mint K200 B-1 tuck n roll with three 12" Jensen Special Design speakers. I have a couple of questions:

1) The only blemish is that someone spilled something on the grill cloth. It looks pretty faint except in the right light so I'd like to try to clean it up. What are the recommended methods of cleaning it? Is it necessary to remove all those screws in the back and remove the speakers first?
2) I am thinking of replacing the Jensens with JBLs or Black Widows with JBL recons. Were the 3-speaker versions built with 16-ohm speakers in parallel? Can I get away with three 8-ohm JBLs or is the risk of damaging the amp too great? It's hard to find 16-ohm JBLs.
