I have had good luck with pliobond and rubber cement for glue and pieces of a coffee filter for smaller holes. I repaired to speaker cones on a Grundig that were in terrible shape by using pieces of cone cut out of a non working Grundig speaker. They aren't pretty but it gets played every day and sometimes at a fairly loud volume. It sounds great. Running the small braided wire through tiny holes in the cone and gluing them are a challenge. Being desperate will make you find skills you don't know you have.
