Picked up an 84B the other day. Cabinet is not in bad shape but will probably refinish it… but that’s another thread. Chassis is relatively clean but the speaker cone is very fragile and crumbly and the spider is broken. I’ve seen Bob Andersen’s re-cone video (It was on a 60) but his spider was intact.
Question 1: Has anyone repaired one of those 45 rpm adapter type spiders?? Is it better to try and re-glue the broken arms on the spider or make a new one? It looks like the material is like that of a manila file folder. Thanks for any advice on how to do this!!

Question 2: The 3 wires going to the speaker which were originally green, white and green/white (schematic) have deteriorated and need replacing. (they've all faded to umber now) [Image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abpfzzk9vemeok....jpg?raw=1] Has anyone found a wire source for these (particularly the green/white). I don’t see anything quite right in AES, Radiodaze or Sundial. Perhaps I’ll just have to use green, white and yellow. Thoughts?
Thanks!!!
