Anyone know of a reliable person or company that repairs or recone`s speakers? I need to get a couple of 802 radio speakers for my Chyslers done.

I think that this is the company that Rodney mentioned who did speaker recone's. You can either ask Rodney or call the toll free number to make sure.

By the way Bob, your package arrive yet?

You don't say how bad the cones are, but an old trick we used on cracked cone paper was to paint nail polish across the cracks. Can't say it improved the sound much, but it did work.

We used balsa wood model airplane cement. It worked pretty good and was cheap.

If all else fails, find an Antique Radio Club on the net. They should be able to help you.

I heard you could reinforce speaker repairs by adding a small piece of toilet paper to the glued area.

Bob,

If you're near Seattle, there is a guy in Startup that repairs my old radios. He sends the speakers to somewhere in California. He's done several speakers for me. The last one for an 802 cost $35. His name is Dick Engel. 360-793-1598. Give him a call
