Is there anyone who might be able to help me with repairing/replacing the cloth on my Cossor, it seems to be embedded in the case, and I have no idea how to go about this. If anyone might be able to help I can send photos by email/Whatsapp/text.

Cheers

Hello and welcome to the forums.

It would help if you could tell us the model number or name of your Cossor. Pictures also help and you'll find a guide to posting them here:-

Yes, once we know the model number and some photos it's relatively easy to replace speaker cloth. Bear in mind that it's unlikely that you'll be able to "repair" the existing cloth if it's torn, and that a replacement cloth will be at best similar, you won't be able to buy the Cossor cloth.
