"Thanks for your respective replies and advice so far. It is good to know that there was likely no cabinet with this unit as I remember it being inside of an old television console as a child along with a black and white TV, and a record…"
"Welcome!
The speaker will definitely need to be re-coned to sound it's best. It may be possible to patch up the cone using coffee filters, but the damage looks pretty severe.
I am three hours north of Calgary, near Edmonton if I can be of help."
