Philco 16B restoration
#14

I have just spoken to Rich Stamer; he indicated the spiders do not get repaired and a full re-cone would be what he would do. He keeps the voice coil impedance, but itself it also gets changed.
I looked at the cone again (well, there is a pretty detailed photo here up in the beginning of the thread): it has a few tears loosely smeared with cement, and the spider, to me, has to be replaced: I do not see a good way of repairing cracks in cardboard.

So I think I will send it out for a full re-cone.

I need to do it soon as Rich is going for a surgical procedure and will stop everything after mid-November till some time in February.

I guess I will align the radio first and then send the speaker out.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
