Thanks for the heads up on that "cap" block Ron. I would have been sorry after chipping its insides out! Another question.. I believe the original woofer cone is in fine shape but it was recommended that I have it reconed anyway to get the best possible sound. Do I really want to do that or retain the original. I want the best possible sound reproduction but not if its going to detract from the value or originality of the set. If the speaker is shot then I can understand a recone job but what if its pristine?
