restored a model 44 cathedral and all went well, however, the speaker cone is a mess; almost totally covered with glue and tape.  Goes without saying that the sound is vey muffled with little highs.  I looked into some of the speaker reconing services but none of their web sites gave any idea of price although one stated $45 an hour.  
         In your opinion, would I be better off trying to find a good original replacement (if they exist)?  I have heard of using a PM speaker with the original speaker choke altho I have not seen it done.  All replies greatly appreciated
