This morn' I pulled the speaker. It is has no tears, the surrounds are good. The cone is bone dry and very brittle, WoW, after only 64 years of service.
I plan to use Ailene's Tacky Glue, mixing 1:1 water/glue, carefully and lightly paint the entire surface of the cone. After that dries, with a 1:2 water/glue mixture, I will again paint the entire surface. I do not think that this will afect the sonics, much if at all, but should give that old speaker a couple more years of life? Thinking the 1:1 mixture would be ok, but might mix 2:1 water/glue for the first go.
Any thoughts?
