We shared many great times together. A lot of great tone ran through your spider and coil and cone. I know I was hard on you, but only because you sounded so good. We were never gonna last together for very long, but you performed admirably. Our love burned loud and hot and it just couldn't last forever. Could you have lasted longer? Maybe, surely, but what speaker worth it's magnet weight wants to live quietly? Your brothers are still going strong. One of them will be next. But for now, you dear dead Greenback, I salute you and will get you fixed.

How did you destroy it? Did you notice he was in slow gradual decline? Or was it a nice dramatic quick death?
It was quick. I was recording some loud tracks at that old studio and halfway through things got fuzzy. It never totally "blew up" but I think the coil has melted. It makes like a permanent fuzz-tone sound no matter what you play through it. The paper cone is still intact. It's the electrical part that shit out on me. If you move the cone manually you can hear this scraping sound from behind the dust cap.

Spending greenbacks to get the Greenback fixed - seems fair.
$60 at a local speaker shop that does these things all day long every day. They have the G12M re-cone kit in stock already. I can't replace the speaker for $60 and this is not the speaker I want to teach myself on, so yeah...greenbacks for a Greenback.

yeah, that's cheap.
But I can tell you that I used to recone speakers at a music store thru the 70's .... done hundreds of them .... it's nothing ..... literally one of the easiest things you'll ever do.

I'm gonna teach myself....but not on this speaker. I'm gonna get a cheapo throwaway and take it apart.

What parts? Recone kits are out there.
Anyway....Allen Speaker Reconing. (713) 862-2747
.... found some ..... $75 ...... found them seconds before ocnor put up the link .... thanks man! ...... not bad and it'd be cheaper than paying for the recone plus shipping each way.
