Good afternoon, gentlemen
I have a small tear in a speaker. I see several ads for black rubber cement for cone repair, but the writeups always talk about replacing the whole cone. That doesn't seem necessary. Shouldn't I be able to repair a small tear? This tear is about 1/8 to 1/3 of an inch long on both sides of a right angle. Otherwise the cone is perfect.
Is that what you guys use, or have you learned there is something better? Or <Gasp! choke!> do you recommend replacing the whole cone? It's a 12" off my Philco 41-285.
Thanks in advance.
Tom
