Seized Speaker Repair?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I've just disassembled a pair of Bose 901's, circa 1977, in order to
replace the tattered foam rings. I noticed that the cone on one of the
drivers doesn't move when I push on it. Is there any way to free it
up? Do I just throw it out and replace it? How would I replace it,
short of cannibalizing another old 901?

Thanks,

- Mark

If you like good sound, then the best bet would be to just throw it out and
replace it, as you suggest. Almost any replacement speaker you can get is
likely to be better than the Bose.
