Dear Friends,
I know this topic went around and around countless times and I did tried very hard to read everything I could find upon this "unobtainium" substance but I at the end I am completely clueless. So I thought I might ask once more hoping that I might get some help at the end. So, the story goes: I got an excellent pair of 2205As but since these are very old I would like to "freshen up" the surrounds as these seem a bit brittle. In fact there is a tiny crack at the surround of both woofers that when pouring some light from the back you can actually see a crack of light on the other side. My woofers sound excellent in a modified 4530 horn loaded setup (that I really love very much), but I guess that at some point will be useless and I really cannot afford new cones (not that I can find any locally for a fair price). Since I really love these speakers I would be very miserable to see these deteriorate and eventually die!
So, what is the correct material (I hate silicone and I would like to avoid it) to be applied to save these? And where I can buy such a material? Maybe someone is willing to sell to me 2-3 ml?
I am really thanking you in advance.
My Best Regards,
Panos
