After soldering jumpers (wirewrap 30ga) across the voice coil wires adjacent
to the coil form, and extending to each eyelet (where the tinsel wire is
joined to the coli leads in production), the driver/speaker appears to
function normally.

Dabs of a hard-drying glue (Seal-All) were applied to the back side of the
cone around the eyelets to try to secure them to the cone, especially the
one that appeared to be pulling out the back side (which is also the same
coil lead that was broken).
I suspect that the loose eyelet was passing stress/movement to the very fine
coil wire, leading to the break.

The center dust cover was glued back in place (Seal-All) and allowed to dry
for 2 days on a mildly warm heater.
I expect this is the last attempted rescue for this speaker.

A new Galaxy Audio S5N-8 replacement is on its way.. I found a large audio
dealer in Kansas on eBag that accepted an offer of $49 delivery included.

It turns out that the 5" driver coil is open.. and examination of the face
of the cone revealed that someone had altered/tampered with it before.
