As you can see in the photos the speaker cone is torn in several spots which I thought that maybe i could use the old brown coffee filter paper and diluted Elmer's glue trick on this speaker cone to repair it but the cone paper is of a different composition than the usual speaker cone material (its a  coated paper cone material as opposed to a traditional paper cone material which I'm not sure how coffee filter paper and diluted Elmer's glue would work on this speaker cone material.

Also I need new speaker wire for the speaker because the original speaker wire is damaged (its missing one of its pin plugs and the wiring is exposed in several spots.)
Does anyone know where I could source some new speaker hookup wire for this radio's speaker and have any ideas about how I could go about repairing this speaker cone? 

Thanks,

Levi.
