A 416 dilemma. What to do?

[bfish]

Question: Can recones be taken off and moved to a new home, or is that glue forever?.

If you have the patience of a saint, the steady hand of a watchmaker, enjoy the buzz from MEK fumes, and nothing better to do with your time. I've done it, but I'll never do it again.

Another option, have Weber re-cone them into a 15" guitar speaker, with aluminum dust covers. Nobody cares about Qts in an open back cab. Might make a nice Vibroverb.

Now there's a good idea! Only I'd try both as-is in a sealed Dual Bassman box. No need for aluminum caps for bass guitar, and the sealed config would add some mechanical damping to compensate the weak mags.
