Can anyone recommend a competent craftsman to re-cone the speaker in a Model 43 cathedral style radio?
I found some references to Hank Brazeal, but the phone number and email address don't work.
Thanks!
Hank Brazeal had retired many years ago.
Rich Stamer, Sound Remedy in NJ. Good guy, good work, good prices. Google him up.
Good luck
Paul
Thank you, Paul. I will check him out.

+1 for Rich Stamer. He did a great job for me.
Glad to hear this, Eric! I have contacted Rich and will send him my speaker for the re-coning while I do tedious cosmetic restoration on the chassis--lots of light corrosion on the (cadmium?) plated surface. When I get the speaker back, I can start re-capping, etc., and hear confirmation of my progress, or lack thereof! I am assuming he will use the original spider and field coil, etc., and incorporate them in the re-coning? I would like them to remain.
Another +1 for Rich Stamer. He reconed the speaker for my 37-630 last summer. Did a great job.
