Of course, depending on how adventurous you are, and how good at such things, you might venture to re-cone the speaker yourself. I first did this when I restored a Philco 37-61, and have had to do several since.

I tried sending a speaker to a "pro", for an odd little nameless radio I worked on a couple of years ago, but instead of him using the original voice coil, which was perfectly OK, he replaced it with one of a different resistance, and the radio does not sound right. Ever since. I have just done my own. I buy my cones off eBay. You have to be vary careful about that to get just the right ones, diameter, depth, voice coil hole diameter, etc.
