Tear in speaker cone on Twin Reverb...Can it be repaired?

[RumorsOFsurF]

I recently took my SF Twin Reverb apart, and noticed there is a small (approx .75") tear in one of the speaker cones.  They are the original Oxfords.  Will the tear get bigger?  I would rather not replace it, as I'd like to keep the speakers stock.

Also, the amp sounds a little farty at higher volumes.  Could this be the reason?  It seems likely...




Macro setting on my digital is shit, sorry!

Yeah, I saw on a tech vid from kendrick amps they uses paper towels and elmers glue I think. I'll see if I can find more info for ya.

Thanks, David!

I've also been looking around.  I'm thinking about buying some new Jensen C12N's and just storing the Oxfords, but I'm not sure.  I think it's cool to use the original stuff...

It's defenitely possible to repair a tear.  It could throw off the balance of the cone though so using as little material as possible is the way to go.  The only time I ever repaired a tear it made the speaker finish with a sorta woomph sound that was a bit off from the other.  It wasn't major but was most noticable when muting.
