Edgewound would probably know or be able to supply them.

I think his primary point of contact now is his Facebook page: Upland Speaker.

And I did find some repair kits on eBay from Simply Speakers and Looneytune in Florida and Mojobrands in Springfield, Missouri.

"Looneytune" Rick Cobb only sells Foam Surround and they are the best.

But do not sell recone kits.

Have you thought about coating the cones?

Hi JBL friends, situation analyses:
1) Got 2 JBL 2203 a couple of years ago, have been in SpeakerEx FL since then, 2 pictures, cannot ?
2) Found a JBL 4315 from Canada with no woofers
3) Would like to get the 4315 to FL but he haven't replied in 2 weeks ?
4) Would ask SpeakerEx to refone the 2108 from the 4315 pair which should be refoamed.
5) Need to have SpeakerEx rebuild the 2203 pair but how ? Which is the best alternative ?
If I had a pair recone kits, it would be clear but now when I have 2 different colour - look like, need one more ?
Or I will ask SpeakerEx to refoam the 2203 and take the risk something is not right later or ?
This is the reasin why I have tried to find another recone kit.
Last year there were 5 recone kits available but I was a little too late, someone bought 4 and I got 1
I had one old recone kit in France info I could buy it but suddently he needet it for one replacement, I asked him I could have changed them because i have another recone kit in Italy. I got it from Italy 2 weeks ago so now I have the 2 with difference visual appearance.
Best regards
Torbjörn

Hello Tootem,

You might try Great Plains Audio, if Edgewound can't help you. They are doing JBL restoration work along with Altec.

Good luck on your quest.

I found this in Australia although shipping may be high. https://qsr.net.au/shop/speaker-parts/speaker-cones/jbl-2203h-cone/

You should consider Aquaplas coating. The cones will most likely benefit from it.
