Simple Vintage Speaker Repair

This video demonstrates a simple repair scheme for a vintage speaker cone.Very old speakers usually incorporate a paper cone which can become extremely fragile with age. This fragility means they can be damaged very easily, usually tears of some kind.We show how to repair a damaged speaker cone with some tissue paper and PVA adhesive.
Enjoy!

Thank you for the guide sir! I am looking ways to repair my small pc desktop speaker and this is probably the way to go. One question though, can i use instant glue?

[@pinewho]

thanks for advice.. I ll try this way.
Would be good to laminate whole speaker just with PVA? I was just thinking it would make them stronger...

[@retrotechretreat2306]

Might be worth a try but would ensure it is a very thin coat. Don't want to make speaker cone stiff!

had good luck with clear pvc pipe glue. foam surrounds bad shape. coat let dry recoat as needed

What is PBA ? glue . I have used two layers of contact cement with suggess .

[@retrotechretreat2306]

It's PVA adhesive (not PBA) - solvent free and waterproof once cured.

Elmer's glue.
