I've gotten some great advice on repairing my 1932 Model 43 speaker. I've even seen some great videos on using the coffee filter material and fabric glue to repair holes and tears. However, I saw one informative video where the craftsman actually attached a new cone from MAT electronics to a spider and voice coil from an old speaker where the cone was beyond repair. Basically he did his own re-coning. My question is this--I'm wondering how he separated the voice coil/spider assembly from the old paper cone? Would one brush on a solvent, and then peel off the speaker paper? I think I'm going to use the coffee filter technique for my job, but would like to know about options...in case I botch it up!
