Hi Ralph, and welcome!

What size is your speaker cone? You might look here:

http://matelectronics.com/prestashop/en/...rch=Search

Note that MAT even carries external spiders for speakers!

Carefully measure the diameter of your speaker cone...and the voice coil...you'll want to leave a small amount of paper around the circumference of the voice coil, for gluing to the new cone.

Don't forget to remove the dust cover and shim around the voice coil when installing the new cone.

This subject is currently being discussed at http://antiqueradios.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=76730 ; you might see some interesting info there as well.
