i recently paged through a gerald weber book on tube amps. i ran across a recommendation in there for repairing damaged speaker membranes with no less than elmers glue and one ply paper towel scraps. at first i thought little of the idea. but after a youtube search yielded similar tutorials, i tried it on a damaged old paper cone jensen that i have been waiting years to have reconed, figuring if it didn't work, i would have to recone anyway.
i am blown away by the results. i have only been able to test it so far with the signal from my stereo, but as far as my ears can tell there is zero evidence of tonal loss or distortion. i closed a Y-shaped tear totaling 2.5-3 inches. i am baffled by how it appears to have worked, but am hesitant to think that is on par with professional repair. has anyone else tried this? any thoughts or experiences on how long this lasts, or other problems that occur later would be appreciated.
thanks -
