Old speaker repair question

Kind of late in the game here, but another place here in florida is https://reconingspeakers.com/

Thanks! No, not late, this is a leaning project. I didn't think Id get it perfect on the first try. The glue turned out to be a heck of a lot more difficult to work with than I thought. Way on the back burner, I wanted to get my skills up and pick up a pair of Bose 901 III's with dead foam, and get them up to speed. For years, you could get them cheap, but prices climbing like everything else. Still I see a pair here and there in Cragistlist, with bad foam, good otherwise. So, Im not against, tearing out what i did and doing over again.

Both of the places mentioned in Florida in this thread have been pretty easy to talk to, ask questions, etc, when I've needed speaker help.

I knocked a magnet off the bench one time, and for the life of me couldn't find it. Much later I found it had stuck to the side of my metal tool cart.

I kind of collect the magnets off of bad speakers I decide to trash. I have this great idea of making them into mega refrigerator magnets one day. One side of one of my tool chests has become a magnet storage space.

One of my friends has one hung up on his garage wall. Instead of throwing darts, we throw bottle caps.

Hey, now that's an idea.
Hmm, might be fun collecting some bottle caps too.

Im guessing the tweeter is probably considered a non speaker at this point, Sad after all that work to get the surrounds fixed up. Thinking about picking up a couple of tweeters someplace that might fit. But not so willing to put money into these speakers, they're not very desirable, not so efficient and don't sound fantastic, just more or less a novelty Ah beans, would have been nice basement speakers, if just for the conversation pieces of having working 1978 The guy whose company made those originally is still doing some work up in New Hampshire. i emailed him about fixing these old tweeters but he didn't respond. I guess I can't blame him.
