Repair speakers

I seen where someone used white glue and coffee filters. My take on it . I used contact cement in a spray can.
Sprayed speaker and coffee filter . Let set for about minute stuck the coffee filter on the speaker smoothed it out over the breaks. It tied all the tears back together almost like new. Strong hold . Stronger than original . Works great.

What brand of spray glue did you use?

I used 3m super 77 adhesive . It will bond all types of materials. Great stuff.

If it's just a small break in the speaker, you can mend it with fingernail polish.

when its just a tear or small hole i use fabric glue and member pbpix uses new cones and fabric glue to recone some old speakers that looks great and he claims they sound Great

heres a speaker with a long tear we fixed with fabric glue!! and still sounds great

Use some flat black fabric paint . Too hide the glue.
Looks great. Made coffee filters look great.

Does anyone have a resource for reconing speakers how to what to buy and where to buy it? It can't be that difficult. years ago you just mailed them out of state to some service, but now even if that's still avail it would cost a small fortune. Usually more than the radio is worth.

Try Electronixs.com for speaker cones. 5" is the smallest you can get. Also check YouTube for tutorials on reconing.
