I have several blown speakers, most not worth re-coning. Among them are 2 peavey scorpion baskets, 12 inch, a 15 in BW basket, these are all aluminum castings. Also I have 2 15 inch and 4 12 inch stamped steel speakers, none of which work well. Non of which match. I keep thinking someone may want them...any ideas?

| The baskets can be replaced. (This is what "reconing" means for a Peavey Speaker.) |

| I already replaced em, that's why I have the duds. I guess I'll take them to the recycler...breaks my heart. |

| Your local speaker reconer may have a use for them, nearly everything can be re-coned. |

| A replacement cone would cost almost as much as a complete basket, so it's probably not practical to re-use them. |

Sorry, the basket and cone are one piece. I think there might be some folks who'd mount new paper cone on the voice coil, like custom speaker rebuilders, but I can't see it making a lick of sense, since you'd need another magnet, and it'd cost more than a replacement Peavey basket (of course, if it's something that Peavey has stopped supporting, that'd be your only alternative, but I'd just switch to an Eminence Neo).

It's the holiday season. Before you get rid of them, consider that they might make nice party hats.  |

| Here in Sedona there are a whole lot of "artists" who might like to use them in their found objects objects. I'll leave them sitting outside a nest of artists and watch from a distance as one by one they are found. |
