After I got off work today, I was fooling around with a few radios I haven't played lately. When I turned on my eight tube, 1942 Zenith console, I was shocked to find the speaker was rattling like crazy on bass notes. The last time I had played this radio it sounded fine. Pulled the speaker and the cone is ok, so I checked the spider next and found it is starting to pull away from the frame. Looks like the old glue (it's green) has given up the ghost. So, I am trying a repair with my speaker cement to see if that gets things going again. If that doesn't work, any other suggestions besides a full recone?
No matter where you go, there you are.
