Some of the spkr cones are held down with sheet metal screws along the perimeter. If not you'll have to use a solvent like acetone or mek to remove the adhesive. Start small by wetting edge and work your way around slowly. So do you have the chassis and cabinet too??
Have you tried to measure the resistance of the vc as close the coil as you can eliminating the possibility of a bad connection or bad hb coil?

Ed Locker showed me how to use acetone to remove speaker cones in this manner several years ago. The trick is not to use too much acetone...just a little from a dropper is the preferred way to apply it...and be patient as it may take more than one application of acetone.

Hey Sammy,
I know a old guy who is a real pita that has a spkr from a 37-116. It does have some paper damage but he thinks it's serviceable. Now a nice young clean cut guy like you could probably have it if this old fart can find it.
