Replacement speaker cones
Say for 12, 15 or 18 inch ones - does anyone produce just the cone with
cylindrical back extension with coil for known or standard makes. ? Where the original has burnt threw the cylindrical former due to DC fault so could not try rewinding on the original. Seems a shame to chuck all that steelwork and magnets for the sake of some card and half an ounce of copper wire. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

Yes, replacement cones are available, but it isn't easy to replace the cone on a speaker. Usually you send it to somebody who does it all the time, and has the expertise. You end up with a speaker that is functionally equivalent to a new one, at a fraction of the price. Google is your friend: http://colomar.com/Shavano/recone.html |

The manufacturer is most likely to have the right stuff. Larbor and shipping is instense. You will save maybe 25% off the cost of buying a whole new driver, but that will vary to overall pricing. Even the cheapest generic kit, may cost over $40 per driver, and its best to go with matched pairs. greg |
