Well, I've gone an done it.
Despite my best efforts to avoid it, I've put a hole in the woofer surround on an Altec 601-8D Duplex speaker. Since nobody makes a re-cone or re-edge kit for this particular Altec (so I'm told), I'm left to do a repair.
The surround is fabric, impregnated with some type of sticky goo. They've been like that since I bought them new in 1973. The newly-punched hole is just under 1/4" in diameter, positioned near the frame. (The cone is untouched).
I assume the hole must be patched to prevent air leakage, and also to keep the hole from enlarging. Any suggestions on patching the hole? Material for the patch? Adhesive to use?
Many thanx, all.
