I took the tuning cap off.
First, I needed o take off the dial for cleaning and it won't come off without raising the cap.
Then the cap was just too wobbly. The grommets are two halves type and are made of super soft silicone. I will either order new from Ed or get some from Lowes.
Now that it is off, I am washing it by soaking and brushing.
Second, I bought the contact cement I use for remedying cones and brushed it upon the weak spots of the speaker.
'Tsit for tonight.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
