Nice job on this .
I love it when someone gets a break and finds something nice for a bargain price. You didn't waste any time sorting it out.
I'm jealous because I missed the boat by not buying one of these .

These handles are hard to come by.
I mean if you don't have one all you can really do is make one . that's what I would do.
And, with a few washers, they do the job.
After trawling through my spare parts cupboard I found this too. It'll take some thinking about. I'll need to extend it somehow.
A brief update. I've shaped the speaker mounting plates to accept the handle.
How do I know it will fit? I learned that the handle from a PC-3 is the same size.
But the wrong colour.
Yes, I bought a scrap PC-3 just for the handle.

Now, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Fantastic job!! 
I would imagine that the wrong "color" is just nicotine staining. I believe member @Gluecifer posted a thread some time ago on how to repair nicotine staining. Search for that when you can.

NIcely done! The handle's plastic has anti-flammable brominates that break down over time. This video at the 16:15 mark (link) demonstrates the process. There are variations (search the term "retrobrite") but this way is good because it evenly covers the part in water and only needs hydrogen peroxide and some sunlight. Summer is a great time of year to do this because you get stronger light.

Thanks for the info. I have some peroxide steriliser that I use when I'm making beer. Maybe that might work.
I do like the color but personally not too keen on that flat center look. Sort of like women’s boobs that are missing the nips.

I totally agree with Superduper.
I think it will look nice with a wider strap on it if you cannot find the original handle.
