Reconing services

[Jazzman]

I see Weber Speakers is currently not offering reconing services. I have a C15N out of an old B-15 that needs a new cone. Any suggestions on where to send it?

Check out this site:

http://www.recone.com/

It's a reconers' organization site; they have a directory of members. Hopefully they can point you to someone in your area.

I'd recommend :
http://www.legacysoundservice.com/
These guys know their stuff. I got a recone kit from them and it was quality, and the folks there are happy to talk to you and answer your questions.
Talk to Phil, by phone or email.
(I have no affiliation, just a satisfied customer.)

subscribed - I'm considering having my EVM-15Ls reconed. Any recommendations for that?

J&J in CHicago is pretty close by for you (you up in Madison anyway). I use Mike McIntosh at Inner Sound in Portland, OR but he's only an hour away for me ... he does really good work but shipping would make it not cost effective I think...

I don't think J&J has any net 'presence. I did find their number on line when I used 'em a few years back.

Best service of this kind I know is A Brown Soun (that is not a typo) in San Rafael, CA.... Home of the amazing Tone Tubby Hemp Cone Speakers.

This place is the sh*t....

+1 on Orange County Speaker. They're very highly regarded.

I've heard good things about New England Speaker in Massachusetts, too, but I've not dealt with them myself.

Thanks 4Mal. I'll check out J&J. I found their phone number.

J&J was recommended to me by Bang & Olufsen USA after my house sitter blew two vintage, out of production woofers from my B&O wall speakers - He actually had to fab things to bring them back as the originals are long gone from B&O - I was real happy to find him.

I hear good things about Orange County as well - but damn man it'll be 50 bucks in freight to get an EV 15 there and back - when it comes to reconing today - you need two things - a good reconer and regionality IMO ...

Actually we should probably get a regional sticky going on reconing in this forum as it is a topic that comes up pretty often...

I pm'ed IvanMike about the sticky idea. My thought is that if folks will PM me with the contact info for a reconer in their region, I'll do the edit - 'long as IvanMike will so the sticky bit.

Ideally you would send me the

I think this should be kept to folks that we have actually done business with. I for instance have used J&J and Inner Sound and feel comfortable with the recommendation based on personal experience.

I'm very comfortable with Orange County as I have a close, trusted associate who has had multiple good experiences there.

I have heard good things about Ted Weber - but not having done reconing business with him - not having that close trusted associate who has actual experience - I would not personally make the recommendation. So none of the typical web style 'my cousin's brother Bobby's bass player's girlfriend the organist mentioned that her dad the guitarist for the Screamin' Meemies' say she thinks this Joe guy is really the dope in speaker repair, eh ? Let's keep it real in other words hard as that is on the 'net...

Ted Weber by the way is out of the reconing biz until he finds and trains a new reconer ...
