Holes were punched in the surround, and everything reassembled.
New wires were made up. The original wire was braided (presumably for flexibility). I approximated this with (if I recall correctly) 16 strands of #36 wire twisted together, and pulled through the cloth insulation stripped from some of the wire on hand for the project.
I was please to find everything went back together, and the cone centered nicely. With a 9V battery on the field coil, I fed some audio from a small portable radio. Success - nice clean sound!
