I've got a pair of Altec studio monitors, and the cones in one of them is blown. Anyone know of a reliable place in NYC that does reconing, particularly for high-end speakers? Thanks!

Sorry, I don't know of one in NY area; but there's a good one I use down in Birmingham, AL.

Dennis reconed a 15" RCA speaker for me, and did a fine job. If you can't find anyone closer to you in NY, you might give him a call. I was very pleased with the job he did for me. Hope this is a help!

If getting it done right is more important than just getting them fixed locally, put them in a box and send them to Steve at Cardinal Sound in Maryland.

Steve is the Altec expert!

If you need someone in NYC, you might try calling Cinema Technology Services. If they don't do this stuff, they could probably refer you to someone who does.

Thanks for the heads up, fellas. Weight is sort of an issue, but Maryland isn't that far a drive.

Quality does trump locality in this place.

There used to be a place on West Broadway but not sure if it is there anymore. When I get a chance will call my dad as he was the one who had his speakers done

Spoke with my dad and he told me the place was called
AST and it was on West Broadway

Best place for Altec old and new is Great Plains Audio.
