Speaker Restoration
« on: March 04, 2021, 09:59:49 PM »
If you need your speakers restored -- easier and cheaper than finding correct NOS speakers -- contact Joe Vijil at jvrestorations@gmail.com
He makes sure the magnet is up to snuff and re-cones any speaker.
This is a 67 dash speaker and runs around $65 incl ship.
Restoration of the frame is up to you and should be done prior to ship.
He can add a fabric to the front if your year needs it.

I'll add other details (frame, stamp) after I get a better stamp back. There's always something, right?

Thanks to Richard for the old speaker!

Thank you Bill. Just received my restored speaker back from JV Restorations. I have attached a photo. Sure better than the foreign repop that was in there!!!

Thanks again for the advice.

I use Speaker Works here in Tulsa. The pair of front speakers for my 1968 AM-8 Track stereo cost $80 to install new magnets, new voice coils and re - cone. Highly recommended!
