[NJARC] How to fix a torn speaker cone

[TrainBee]

David,
    A point well taken now.  I can't remember ever working on a radio with an unremovable speaker. As a point of reference, this is an Emerson Model 550. Dame as a 516, etc...  For whatever reason, they riveted the frame to the chassis.  Also, the used 2 screws with rubber bushings to "gild the lily," so to speak.  I have quite a few suggestions from members on what to do.  I'll take them, consider how each might work, if possible try it on another damaged cone, then make the repair.
Lesson learned.  Now it's time to fix it and not make the same mistake again!  
Thanks to you, and all.Joe

Guys and Gals,  Cover the speaker with a piece of cardboard as soon as you take it out of the cabinet. Just use a hole punch and small tie wraps to secure and avoid the problem.  I use used dryer softener sheet pieces and clear nail polish on most cone repairs.Dave Dean

Joe -          Tissue/toilet paper using wifey’s nail polish seems to work good for me.

   I could use some suggestions on how to repair a torn speaker cone.  I was working on a radio that I couldn't take the speaker out of.  Of course, if it could happen to me, it will.  As I was working on the chassis, it tipped and landed right on the speaker cone.  It now has a nice big tear.
    I've heard of all sorts of repair tips from tissues, and paper towels (non treated), to coffee filter material.  I'd like to know what works best and what adhesive works best.  At least I can get to the back of the cone to keep it from collapsing inward when I work on it.

Thanks in advance for your help.Joe Devonshire______________________________________________________________
