Hi gang. I thought I would share my groundbreaking tip with you all. I have a previously very dry and tired looking K140 that now looks almost as good as new.
Method - Give the cone a light wash with a damp sponge and allow to dry and then apply a light coating of Olive oil ( or Linseed ) taking care to wipe off any excess. Allow to dry completely perhaps a week and keep going till it looks right.
Look at the cone nowI just need a new dome and we are good to go !!
A musical instrument speaker--you can do whatever you want to it, if you like the sound that's cool. But, for music reproduction this Mediterranean massage would definitely alter the sound and the driver would no longer perform as designed or spec'd.
Very interesting idea...would this be a variety of mass loading which could be used to alter fs?
and then apply a light coating
Olive oil would make the bass sound a trifle too al dente, for my taste.

I would not recommend this treatment particularly for any paper cone driver but I do have a set of LE14s whose original foam surrounds have been treated by the previous owner with brake fluid.
Both surrounds are plyable and are in good shape.
The bass responce on these is not real defined and I assume this has something to do with the heavy stiff cone design ....but that is another story..
Does this apply too, in terms of which oil I should use in my particular climate???
Just kidding - I guess whatever works for ya. My question is did you drive the speaker prior to applying oil Macaroonie, and if so was there a sonic difference post-dressing?
P.S., Brake fluid on a speaker would scare the crap out of me. That's the most corrosive automotive fluid with the possible exception of carb cleaner!
Ahh yes, but it would be great for Italian opera and bass notes would no longer stick together.Olive oil would make the bass sound a trifle too al dente, for my taste.
