Has Anyone Fixed Speaker Cone Tears ?

[BucketBack]

I was gifted a couple Cerwin Vega 15" Speakers. One needed wiring and is GTG, the other needs new foam which I'm ready to do as soon as I fix the tear.

A replacement woofer is $250 or more if one can be found?

One CV speaker is paired with a CV subwoofer, which rocks as it is

This is the updated model

A DJ used these for weddings, I got them to play at Fight Club yesterday, but they are too valuable and too heavy for me moving around.

Never had any kind of luck with torn/split paper cones.
Even a good repair would not hold up if you cranked up the volume.

I looked at a set of CV DX9 back in the late 80’s but opted for the Infinity SM150 instead
Drove them with a Carver amp and Carver C1 pre amp. The neighbors in the apartment complex hated me.

One to one epoxy resin mix and a piece of fiberglass cloth to fit.

Did one of mine quite a few years ago that way, was a 12 inch Utah speaker.

Saturate the cloth first on a piece of plastic like a baggie put glue on cone then add cloth.

It is still holding up today, I do not drive the hell out of it.

It split when the needle on my BIC turntable accidently hit the edge of the disc.

I have resins, cloths, cements. I have all I need, I think

[StratBastard]

I used to have a huge collection of vintage speakers, amps, and cabinets. Orange frame JBL d130's, Jensen 25w 10", 30w Celestions were my favorites depending on the tone you were after. These were for guitar amps of course, not stereos.

One can have speakers sent out to be re-coned. However, with vintage speakers nobody is going to have an original cone... so it won't be the same again ever. Best to repair/patch them yourself as outlined above. How old is your Cervin Vega? If it is later 1980's or younger there may be original cones out there.

[BucketBack]

I was browsing simply speakers.I will need to compare what I have, as there already is 2 types of woofers in the same type cabinets.

The Mrs ex# 2's brother, Brad ran a DJ service and has a storage unit with 6 more CV's, and some amps and mixers . It was mentioned to just check the other speakers for a good woofer and unscrew and disconnect it.

He is on his last hurrah I'm afraid.

He's had a few heart attacks, and says the next one will be his last, in the next couple years.

He had fried perch, baked breaded pollock and more fried perch Friday. That's better than a McDonalds any day.

They have a great spot on the river for chrome about now

Another DJ friend Mike, says to use the same cement as the foam uses. Use a q tip to apply the cement, and shred the QTip end as the patch

I have the materials in stock. Somewhere

That's the newer looking style , that one is working since I plugged it in.

The other one looks older.

Q tip flocking is not strong enough, you can also use a chunk of a T-shirt.

The key is to saturate the cloth and to rub enough into the cone.

[SOCOM42]

Yeah, I miss them too.

Even all the stores around where I lived that catered to the TV repair shops are gone, been gone now for 35+ years.

I use to go to those long before there was a Shack store anywhere around.

I use to buy from the original Radio Shack, from their mailed out catalogue from Chicago, like in 1954 and up.

I used parts from all those places to build my projects.

Built my first HF receiver from parts, no kits, had to cut all the chassis holes myself for tubes and such.

That was back in the 50s, got my ham ticket in 1957, went to the customs building in Boston for it.

Last project from RS was fixing my 1940 9N Ford's generator. 3 brush generator, no regulator, just a cutout to battery. All the new stuff is Chi-Com crap that burns up in ~1year. You can make one with a diode, that fits in original cutout can. Tractor is still 6V pos ground system.

Well, there is some more of them out there, depending on the model number (DXW15 as an example) if one is willing to wade through about 98% of them being aftermarket kits. If she sounds good with your planned repair completed, I say good to go. I had a repaired Jensen 10" in a little vintage 5 watt Supro amp, and of course the tone one wants from this amp is tube sag, and speaker distortion for that "brown sound" tone... so you dime it always. The Jensen did fine.

I was in a couple garage bands around 14 and 15 years old, good memories, great times, and the hard process of learning what sucks and what doesn't LOL. Had my first paid pro gig at 19, and by 23 we had an agent and were booked pretty solid and on the road. I had a threshold moment (more like an hour) when at 16 I went to the Portland Colosseum in 1974 to see Deep Purple. I stood right at Ritchie Blackmore's feet hoping to discover something... anything really. Because even though they were much much better than me at the time, I had some inkling of what the likes of Clapton or even Hendrix were doing... all of it blues scales in the pentatonic realm. And I could replicate it on a more basic scale. But Ritchie was a mystery. His playing (as I later learned) was a blend of the pentatonic and neo-classical, of which I had no clue whatsoever. He saw me right in front of him, and also saw I was watching his fretboard intensely. He did that thing he does onstage... kneeling down and tossing off a fantastic solo... three feet from my face and grinning at me. It was way over my head of course at the time, but I absorbed enough to work at it for the next few years. There are a small handful of days in every life where one has the opportunity to wake the fuck up. That was one of mine.

I still have an entire drawer of ancient Radio Shack stuff LOL. Always trying to run analog electronic stuff in a signal chain that don't really belong together. Male/male 1/4" adapters, Female/female adapters, 1/4" to RCA adapters, split signal stereo adapters, the list is endless. Some of the Frankenstein stuff I had going as a kid would make a modern studio tech tremble.

[BucketBack]

Well the speaker supplier showed up to check my work on the one CV, and said he had at least 7 more in storage.

I was buying plastic pallets for $40 to put my new to me shed on. She offered to give Bradley the shed for speaker payment.

Well the Mrs wound up selling the shed to him for $500 on payments,$250 down, $250 next month, I'm delivering the pallets to him, then taking my trailer to storage to pick up what I can.

Then what fits in the shed, fits, and what doesn't is target material.

We'll wind up with a DJ / Karaoke setup for $40, and I still have to move and setup the shed.

In more recent times, i have had to cobble together civilian and military connectors, endless combinations.

My stuff was for RF not much AF like you music guys.

Not related but an interesting item anyways, along time ago and far away,

I heard music in a room where there were no speakers at all!!!

It was in a transmitter room of a 15KW radio station, audio was brought in by wire from the studio 15 miles away.

What I was listening to was the plates in the Eimac final tubes oscillating!

It was the strangest thing, but beautiful at the same time.

I must have stood there mesmerized for a half hour listening to it.

I will take some pictures of my pile of connectors and post in a week or so.

I couldn't get what I needed from SRV, because he never ever left the pentatonic/blues scale. And although he dialed that up to 11, and ended up being the very best at it (IMO), I already at least understood the underlying structure. Ritchie mixed the pentatonic with Bach, Beethoven, and Paganini, and it was a structure I didn't remotely understand at the time. He held the keys to that specific lock.

One of my favorite live shows of SRV was when he played with Jeff Healy. If I understand it correctly, SRV discovered Jeff and got him going.

I got to see SRV with Jeff Healy, Saratoga Springs. Jeff came out for Stevie's encores. I think SRV did get Jeff recognition he deserved, I believe they met in Toronto

You know more about music/guitar than I ever will. Did you ever get to see Frank Zappa? I think he was trained in classical stuff. He did all kinds of crazy time keeping in his music and had great musicians in his bands.

I was a Zappa fan, but never got to go to a concert. I have watched great live Zappa shows on Youtube. He could reproduce live very well I thought... not every guitarist does. And his music was his own unique style of fusion: when you hear Zappa, you know right away you're hearing Zappa LOL. His son Dweezil is a decent player as well.

[Sparkyprep]

Just buy some new speakers. LOL.

[BucketBack]

I'm a poor, so a free $1000 speakers system is cool, along with a $1500 amp, but it's a fun ride.

I can watch my boober as I'm setting up the shed.

I just spotted boats on trailers at the NoTell, so I'll use the access at Bridgeton, since the Steelhead can't swim upstream until the rains.

[PeterBrodbeck]

SRV's vocal prowess resonates like thunder, while his guitar skills strike with the swiftness of lightning. Healey's guitar showers down a torrent of blues, a sight both delightful and uncommon: Stevie Ray wears a genuine smile onstage even in the presence of another headlining artist. During that era, Jimi Hendrix was often described as "magical," a sentiment that garnered SRV's respect. Yet, he himself was hailed as an unstoppable force, an unequivocal blues powerhouse!

[BucketBack]

SRV was a Sea Ray Vee Hull, until Bobby and Stevie came around.

The Speaker still needs mending and is in the man cave now, finally.

[1skrewsloose]

Never done it, but, there are re-cone kits out there. Wish they had them way back when, my bud would blow my speakers ALL THE TIME!. So I fused them to blow at about 4 o'clock, didn't help, he'd just tin foiled the fuses. Big Advents that you weren't supposed to be able to blow.

Hello everyone. If I write now that I am not a bot, would it be the truth? Nowadays, all of us constantly encounter bots online: they are present on most websites offering banking and credit services, integrated into the majority of commercial websites, on social media platforms, messengers, games, and entertainment services. We are still unable to discern often whether we're communicating with a bot or a real person. Your correspondence regarding my solitary post on the topic amused me, as a living human being. However, if I haven't received a ban, then perhaps someone is expecting my response.

Here's my advice to you: don't waste your time discussing someone else's post in terms of plagiarism. All our thoughts and opinions, yours and mine alike, are shaped by the knowledge and opinions of others that we hear and read every day. We then reinterpret the information and express it in our own words, believing it to be "our opinion," even though there is plenty of evidence around that proves our "opinion" to be flawed.

I am typing these thoughts on a keyboard, I swear. But I don't know if there's an electronic chip somewhere in my body that would label me as a bot. Wishing everyone a great day ahead. I don't intend to offend anyone. And if I unintentionally did so, I apologize.

Unless you dont mind spending big bucks store bought smokers are not necessary to smoke some quality foods. I used a refrigerator for 20 years. Then I built a smoker out of a tech cabinet. The tech cabinet build I did is posted around here somewhere. Some folks just use an old file cabinet.

^^^ Thanks, gives me something to consider, I'm pretty much a tight wad being on SSI. I have looked at some barrel smokers and thought, wtf that price for a 55 gal drum and some rebar and grates?

Way cool, for some reason I thought the smoker needed to be sealed up air tight, then how would the coals burn with no air. Picture forehead slap.

Think I got myself talked into building my own, with the ideas from here, got expanded steel and 55 gal drums can be had for $30. I got the itch.

Thanks All!!

I had forgotten about all the smoked carp I brought to work as smoked salmon. I used an old dome shaped commercial smoker.

I bought a used side burner smoker at a yard sale this year for $25 that I have run too hot..............

The Mrs old F.I.L. used to use an old fridge that was rusting out, his ticker will stop before the run this fall they think.....

The fish come in and stack at Bridgeton and they have to stop the baptisms in the fall, until the rains come, then they swim to Croton Dam.

I had not been following this thread. Wondered how it kept going for 7 pages.

I smoked some corn so the Mrs could make Indian Fried Corn the other day. Traded a 870 and a RSC for 2 windows installed. The installer was talked down to $225, 870 and safe are worth $500 plus 12 & 20 ammo. I was broke and didn't want to open the real safe with the real guns in.
His normal price is $200 per small window and I don't like ladders much anymore

Now I'll buy 2 more windows for $500 and get free installation. The Mrs has known him since he was born....

Now back on track. I found some more speaker adhesive, and have the speakers in sight in the man cave, but the new to me RCII, MEC 600 in 20, and the RL550C have taken the lead.
I have replaced the repo'ed ones finally as they left over the weekend:offtopic:
