Not sure about the K series (8 inch) Philco speaker, but on newer speakers with a cardboard gasket, a careful application of straight acetone will allow the outer edge of the cone to be removed from the frame. You have to apply the acetone, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and carefully start to remove the cone edge from the frame. One or more reapplications may be needed.
Phorum member Ed Locker showed me that trick a few years ago.
Speaking of tricks, thanks much for the Simichrome tip. I've been using Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish on IF cans, but it doesn't seem to work as well on the 1930s Philco coil and IF shields that were spun permanently onto the chassis.
