Default Speaker restoration needed

My original pair of dash speakers from one of my 73's probably need restoration while the dash is apart.

It's been a while since I've had car speakers re-coned, etc.

Is there a preferred vendor for this service who can fix me up for a reasonable price?

Thanks!
Wes

Why not just go with upgraded new ones? I personally am an originality nut but not sure I go this way. Just my 2 cents.

You could probably ask at your local car stereo shop-or a place that sells band type sound equipment. I believe woofer re-coning is done regularly. They should know where to go to get it done anyway.

Try Jackson Speaker in Jackson, Michigan. (517) 789 6400. Keep it original and also the impedences will be correct.
