Philco 38-12 Speaker ?
#1

I have a 38-12 that has a pretty toasted speaker cone. I patched it up with some rubber cement and old dryer sheet (which I've had previous successes with) but it rattles like a tin can with marbles in it.

It's a 5.25" speaker with a voice coil opening right around .75" and I cant find any sources for replacement cones that match.

I've never done a recone job but I'm thinking of giving this one a shot vs trying to find/pay for an entire speaker replacement.

Anyone have any advice?

PS-Im also trying to determine if there are any other Philco models that used the same speaker. The schematic lists the part numbers for the cone and voice coil (36-3981) but google hasn't given me any love with finding much info on it.
