On the other hand... rubber cement can work if most of the edges of the cone and rim meet and can be bridged with the cement.

Been there... done that. Rather than try and repair the code, you might simply use a new speaker that can be made to fit and such that the front panel screw holes can be filled. It might even sound better. the xformer will be fine.

You can re-cone the speaker as long as the coil and center tube are good. There is plenty of advice, guidance from from the Audio segment. I did a re-cone job on and LS-3, which still works.

Good luck.

While I'm waiting for the black wrinkle paint to arrive I would like to try and repair the speaker. You can see the speaker "cloth" has torn away all the way around the outside and partially in the center. I am looking for any repair advice.

Thanks
