Philco 60 Speaker re-cone?
#1
Photo 

I recently had a Philco 60B given to me.  I'm pretty competent in modern electronics but I've never restored an antique radio before.  This one appears to be in pretty good shape - dusty, but not much rust or corrosion.  The antenna and oscillator coils have continuity (nice that the schematic gives actual DC resistance values for these!), as do the power transformer windings, so I figure I've got a good sporting chance.

  My first problem, though, is that the speaker cone is trashed.  It looks like somebody stuck something thru the grill at some point and ripped out the cloth and speaker both.  The field coil, voice coil, and OPT appear to be OK.  Is there anybody who re-cones these speakers?  Alternatively, is there a source for replacement cones so that I can try to re-cone it myself?

Thanks!
