Getting back into my 20
#7

As for the speaker cone, my 20 has the center cone glued to the outer ridged/flexing ring, if the outer ring is ok I have used black construction paper cutting the inner cone out leaving a 1/4" lip on the spider and outer rim for glue, then I cut the paper from the side into the center pulling it in like making a funnel, lay it inside the speaker and let it unfold to fit, mark along the line you cut, cut off excess leaving a 1/4" lip to glue to itself, glue it to both inner and outer lips and paint it with lacquer to stiffen it. I have done this on a 20 and 70 and as long as the outer ring is not damaged it looks factory when finished and works fine.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
