It's an easy repair. I harvest a patch from an unused tea bag. Make sure it's large enough to cover the hole plus at least 1/2" all the way around. GENTLY spread some flexible fabric glue around the hole, apply the patch & gently brush more glue over the patch. If you can get to the back side of the cone, repeat the process on the back. Be very careful, the old paper on speakers can be extremely delicate & can tear easily, especially when wet with glue.
