Philco Speaker Crud
#1

Hello,

I have a 1937 or so Philco speaker that looks to have a waxy build up around the voice coil. This sometimes prevents the speaker cone from its full travel. If I push on the cone near the spider several times it will free up but if its sets for a couple of days it sticks again. I was wondering if I could clean that crud away. If so what would be best? Picture is not the best but shows the area I am speaking about.

Thank you,
Dan
