Looking for tips on speaker cone repair.

Years ago, I used rubber cement and toilet paper on the rips. Any better
suggestions?


How about just reconing it, it's not difficult.

Its an old 8 inch speaker that I got in a box of electronic odds n ends
at an auction. It probably came from an old consel stereo. The tears are
from being abused during handling, not a dried up cone. Its the old
black paper. I was going to remove the fairly large magnet and toss the
rest of it. But I connected it to a radio and even with the torn cone it
had good sound. So I decided to repair it.

Due to availability of glues, I used Elmers rubber cement with toilet
paper strips. It's solid now, and has good sound. Ill probably hang it
on the wall above my bench for a test speaker. It sounds much better
than the 4 inch table radio spkr that I have been using.
