Just got a reply from a helpful someone who also does not have the
small screws.  He said that the speakers were threaded into the
holes.  I checked on my non A/C 83-1/2 and sure enough, there is a
large ring that threads onto the back of the speaker holding it in
place.

Problem is that on the 87 I have A/C and have no access to the back
of speakers without major dissassembly so I will attempt to unscrew
from the front somehow and hope that the leads don't get too twisted
in the process.  I'll let you know.
