Speaker Cone - How to Build One w/ Cardstock

Great job Don. L and s all my very best.

This is an excellent demonstration of your process to replace a speaker cone. You’ve made an intimidating task look much easier. Thank you.

Very impressive Don. At some point I have to bite the bullet and attempt something similar. I have several old Zenith AM-FM tube radios of the same type, all of which have bad or no speakers. I doubt very much my attempts will be nearly as elegant as yours. :)

The before and after sound quality improvement was significant. Thanks Don for spending the time to show the detailed procedure. Beautiful job.

Definitely saved to my list for the tutorial I will follow. Thanks so much.

Excellent ! There is no other word ! Thank You Don!

The rattling is gone, that's good.
But so is all the treble - because of the missing whizzer cone and the much greater inertia (mms/cms) of the new cone/suspension structure.
This technique is useful for an A.M. radio, but I wouldn't do it on anything seriously reproducing music - better just to put in a modern day full range speaker driver then - you can still find such resembling the original one.

Well done Don. This is one the most difficult repairs to do on a radio. Takes a finess for sure and several tries to find the
sweet spot to fit the cone properly. The before and after was a great difference, and proof it needed to be done.

Excellent! Great job. This is just what I’m looking for. Your channel is one of my favorites!

Excellent work.

Very nice, Don. Thank you.

I really like the Excel spreadsheet and math to create a cone from a flat sheet of paper.

I use that Renaissance wax on my rifles and gun stocks always makes them look great. Now I have another use for it. Great tear down and build up video of that speaker Don. You really do great work Don.

Just perfect ...
Nice solution ...

Well done 👍✅ Good job Sir 👌👌 its very Helpful for making new one❣️Love From Pakistan 😘

That's a great repair Don, I learned a lot and with that calming voiceover I kinda feel relaxed too. I am in my 30's and like to listen to music and repair/ restore my own stuff and restoring and modding speakers is one of my favourite things to do.
With love, Max 🙂

This is very helpful, thank you. I have a set of pioneer cs-g101waii speakers that I am trying to repair.

Great job. Can the foam surrounds be purchased ?

Excellent work, salute from Venezuela.

This was very interesting and informative. Curious, why did you glue the voice coil first then the surround? Does this lead to better alignment? Thanks from Colorado.

Excellent repair. Sending my support

Excellent job and explanation !! Congratulations !!!

Nice video. I have 2 speakers one has a good cone but the spider came unglued from the voice coil former, however i also noticed that if i gently push down it pops into place until i play it. Even when popped in place, the spider and cone are up a little farther than normal and there is barely any resistance when pushing down on the cone and is extremely easy to bottom out. Much easier than any other speaker I have.
Is this fixable?

also where do i get the round flat felt pieces for the old school felt dust caps as when I do my recone this is also shot and will need to be replaced.

This guy is really good to explained this theory

Thanks for the video and the links, great knowledge resource. I now wonder how the GSM of the paper will affect the tonality.

Good bro 😎

Thank you Sir for this detailed description of the cone replacement process and old good days math. With your craftsmanship and relaxing voice it was a pleasure to watch.

Excelente muchas gracias 😊

What a awesome video. Pretoria, South Africa.
Will you able to share the excel spread sheet.

thank you sir i really like your videos its help me alot but i cant find the way how to observe the informations in the website :((
hope you help me❤❤
but its okay if you dont😊😊

Absolutely fantastic tutorial and resource references, thank you!!

Thank you Mr. Don. I am about to have to dive into re-coning a 4" PM speaker off of a Truetone radio. Without your video tutorial I would not even have attempted it. Especially the cone template part.
Thanks for all your great videos.

Great job thanks

Sir watching your video i noticed you did not show how to remove the remaining cone from the voice coil

Good job!
