Default Speaker Re-coning

Has anyone had their speakers re-coned? I am looking at getting my rear speaker re-coned and looking for any input/referals. Anyone to stay away from?

Thanks,
Pepi

I tried those numbers, and it says call can't go through.

Pepi,

I had four speakers re-coned through this fellow. 3 fronts and 1 rear. He is listed in Hemmings and not far from me.


(RADIO service: auto tube or transistor type, all makes, expert work, prompt service, 40 years' experience. Ron's Radio Service, 199 Jake Moore Rd, Dallas, PA 18612; 570-675-7830.)



He Doesn't do them in house though, I believe he works with a guy in NJ.

I have only installed two of the speakers that were re-coned but no issues as of yet.

Here are two of fronts I have yet to install.





These were re-coned only, not restored, If I recall correctly the four of them were under just under $150 and he checked my radios too.

Dave
