I have an old set of AR5's from 1969. One of the
speakers makes a raspy/distorted noise on playback of hi frequency
sounds. I have noticed that at the base of the paper cone there is a
connective seal, like glue. On the tweeter in question there are some
open gaps in the glue. Could this cause the distortion? Can I glue
this area to help secure the cone and reduce distortion?


No, no, no, no, no!

If you GENTLY push the cone in and out trying to keep it even (don't push in
one spot) is there a rubbing sound? If so, the coil has distorted or turns
have come off. Repair or replace.
