[Boatanchors] Speaker Re-coning

[Skip Simmons]

Hello Lin-  It is a common misconception that a tear in the paper  
means that you must recone the speaker.  Just glue the tear, using as  
little glue as possible, and it will be good as new!  Use "Pliobond"  
or "Barge" cement.  So-called "speaker repair cement" is junk.  Neal's  
Speaker Service in Sacramento takes mail order and is fast and  
reasonable, but just glue that tear yourself!
Thanks,

Skip
