[Boatanchors] Speaker Re-coning

[The Pollacks]

Let's take a step back, shall we?  Can't we have different positions without
resorting to what is becoming close to personal attacks?

I like keeping things original, if I can within reason, but respect someone
else's right to decide what to do with property, however historical, that he
owns.

I like old original cars, and would never "hot rod" one, but would never
tell someone else he's a fool for not agreeing with me!

We're all in this for our own reasons, and remember, it's a hobby to enjoy,
not get aggravated over!  Life's too short to get our blood pressure up over
replacing a speaker!  As my good friend Ernie, W7CCC (SK) used to say, "It's
all just temporary!"

Respectfully
Ron K2RP

Whatever toots your horn Carl. I have historical and valuable (at least
to me) radios too. After I'm gone, I don't really care.
