Always worth an email to confirm. Expand I am going to guess that these are "custom" versions of the Deltalite 2510 and as they are not available either, it's most unlikely that you will get a re-cone kit for it. Quote

I have 46 year old Tannoys and have reconed more than one of them. Expand My grandfather taught my dad how to recone Goodmans speakers in the 1960s, using pieces of photographic negative as spacers around the voice coil. Quote

Expand With Eminence, most OEM recone kits are raw kits (unassembled) but only available to the OEM manufacturer and it was a 10 piece minimum (though that may have changed in then last few years). It's more difficult if you need to recone them from raw kits and do them properly to meet the original specifications to last like the original factory drivers. Details matter, and what I see of recone work by end users is usually awfully scary.

Expand Correct, I wouldn't expect these parts to be available unless Alex has them. Just because recone parts fit doesn't mean they are correct. The driver may make noise, but will be nothing like the originals. There are some abysmal aftermarket parts kits sold as original out there... buyer beware. 1 Quote

I know because I asked Alex to sell me a 12 and he politely declined. I'm sure they would replace the driver for you though. I'm also sure Alex would love to investigate the cause of the problem himself. Rob Expand This isn’t the experience I had. I messaged Alex for a replacement 10” speaker and he sent me a link within about 3 hours. Perhaps there’s a difference between the 10 and 12 drivers but I wouldn’t expect so. Quote
