[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 89189, member: 30"] Re: Speaker repair/rebuild questions I was a reconer for quite a while and did a lot of custom/old special recones. There are A TON of different various parts and there is no "generic" parts-simply because they are all special sizes. For those types of repairs I used Waldom parts-I don't know if they are still around. They don't sell to the public (or didn't) so you had to be set up as a dealer. MEK is good for cleaning most speakers. The problem is it will soften old parts-so they won't be as strong as they used to be. Orange County Speaker sells a number of various speaker glues/sealers etc I don't know what that "sticky goo" was-but it was used on a good number of drivers. I would use the white surround sealer that you can get from Orange County Speaker. I have no idea on the question about the car field coil speakers. I did recone MANY old jukebox speakers that were field coils. The coil was in the power supply-like home radios. [/QUOTE]
