Roberts Radio RT1 Speaker - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I'm attempting to restore my Dad's RT1. It powers up from a 4x 1.5v rig but the speaker cone has a hole. Should I recone? Are replacement cones available? Should I replace the speaker? Any information on cones or speakers would be very useful. It's cleaning up quite nicely and it'll be cool to having playing in the shed just as my Dad did. Thanks. Steve

I would attempt a repair using adhesive and lightweight tissue /fabric if necessary.

There have been many posts about this issue.
