I have a Watchtower vertical play phonograph with a damaged speaker. Any thoughts on how to repair or replace?

I’m just thinking out loud.
As a long long time ago I messed with an 1930’s Philco console radio with a severely damaged cone speaker. Had to come up with a homemade thin cardboard version.
That looks very similar to a late 1930-40’s radio speaker cone.
There are some YouTube videos on this.

Also the Polly Portable had something similar.
Anyhow I wish you goodluck on this!
