Celestion speaker terminal repair?

[CurlOfTheBurl]

Buying three ‘79 G12-65 T3120 speakers. He’s throwing in the fourth for free due to this issue. Any pointers on the best way to get this fixed? I’m planning to load into a Marshall 1960BX cab (will probably sell its stock greenbacks).

Doing the deal on Friday but from the photos and what he’s saying, it’s all original cones and working order except for this.

Is the wire itself still there? If it’s connected to the speaker you’re good.

Yep, as long as the wire itself is there, that tab that came off is just attached to the larger plate which remains. You could solder your wire direct on there or another little tab, etc.

You need to get a new terminal board, it will probably be the four prong kind (two to pos, two to neg). Unsolder the wires, drill a hole through the fiber board replacement and through the original, then put a small screw through them both. Reattach your wires and you're good to go. I could send you a few if you're desperate.

Thanks Jim! Would either of these be the right part?

In the event it isn't and/or has pulled back under the dust cap I'll report back with photos and see what the next best steps would be. Planning to do the transaction on Friday evening. I'm excited!

BTW this seller just sent me video of him putting a hand-held multimeter on each of the three speakers with intact terminals.

12.4, 13.1 , and 14.9 ohms on the readings. I'm very excited!

This is an excellent opportunity to man up and redo everything with 10 awg wire

The T-20 part is what I have, the other one would work, too.

Is this salvageable short of a re-cone?

I don't see the small wire that connects to the coil anymore? Looks like it was teared out unfortunately?
I would bring / send it to a good repair man to try saving this one without a full recone if possible; worth it IMHO.

I don't see any wire coming out of the cone for your damaged connection. Unless there's at least 1/4 inch to solder to another braided lead wire to the fiber board, it's toast. Sorry.
