[Boatanchors] speaker cement

[cemilton at aol.com]

Dick,

If the cone is intact except for a short tear................use a 
piece of tissue paper and some model airplane cement to repair it.  
I've also used a piece of cone material cut from a DEAD speaker to do 
the same.  Nothing magical about the glue.  Now if they still make DUCO 
cement, use it!   Otherwise, Ambroid works just fine.  I use GC because 
I happen to have several  bottles and they look good on the repair 
bench.  Hi Hi Hi

YMMV

   I know, this is a bit off-topic but here goes anyway. I am restoring 
an old Philco table radio and I hate to replace the entire speaker due 
to a short tear on the cone. I see products like GC radio/TV service 
cement advertised but am curious if anything will do that I already 
have and that includes silicones, rubber cement, super glue, mucilage 
(boy, that dates me, huh) ...etc.
 Speak to me people (pun intended)
