Model 89L Reconing
#1

Does anyone know of a company that sells complete speaker reconing kits that will work on a Model 89L? This one is just not salvageable. I have reconed a few speakers in my day. They were just much larger...and of course more modern.

What I've done is purchased the paper pleated cone from ebay or there are a few supplier around.Google is your friend. Be care about measuring the hole for the voice coil and the depth of the cone. Avoid the cone that require a foam surround  as the foam sometimes creates a clearance issue. Don't know of any "kit" for these old guys, it's kind of a limited market.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

Thank you Terry. I will look into that.

Worst case scenario you could fabricate a new cone out of black construction paper, presuming the edges around the voice coil and perimeter have enough good original cone to glue the new cone to.  Take care, Gary

Thanks for the note...by the way, I used to live there in Westland, MI...right at Joy and Hicks...small world!
