I'd love it .... if it was oak, didn't have a tear in the cone, and was 2,170 miles closer.

Buford Chidester can re-cone it, but you're on your own on the other two!

As it happens, just yesterday I installed one of Mr. Chidester's cones in a lovely Art Model Actuelle. This last cone was not quite up to par. The fit was fine, but it was entirely lacking in the requisite stiffness, and sounded simply awful; flabby and muddy. A minor modification, the application of a couple coats of thinned lacquer to the five inches at the apex of the cone, corrected the problem, and this Actuelle is probably the best sounding reproducer of this sort that I have yet restored.
Now if I can only get the paint can rings off of the lid of the cabinet...
