How to repair Altec 604?

[max1229]

Does anyone knows where to buy Altec 604C/D paper cone? My 604D had a 1 1/2 inch tear.
I would like to repair it. What kind of paste can be used to repair tear?

Hi
I notice your from Taiwan. It would be expensive to ship your speakers to the states. I sugest
you get in touch with Great Plains Audio and they will ship you some brand new cones.

You should have a speaker repair shop in Taiwan handle the
rest.

Hi,
I hope I'm not being to pushy. You should change
your damper if they are the originals on your units.

Greets!

I apply a thin coat of PVA glue (used for bookbinding, paper arts n' crafts, etc.) on the rear of the tear, then reinforce it with as small a patch of toilet paper as practical and soak it with a thin coat of glue for added strength/protection.

UMMMM.....would that be (S)harmin, other OTC, or mil. spec. TP? Two-ply, or single?

Very resourceful, indeed! McGuyver's not a hero when you is one!

The wheels are really turnin' now, GM.

Wonder what the Fs would be for an all-TP/PVA cone..........

TP certainly has no 'sound' of its' own......

Maybe should throw in a little fiber for stiffness?

Perfumed brands could double as room air fresheners......

Certainly recyclable for user-friendliness......

Where's Mr. Whipple when ya need him.........
