Dahlquist DQ10 Woofer Repair?


I need people's opinions on whether I should have my surround replaced (or attempt to do so myself) or spend a little extra and replace it with an after market woofer. Places like MCM Electronics sell woofers from the $20s to $60s so it may be just as cost effective to replace it.
My question then would become what specs other than size would I need to know before I could buy the new woofer?

I agree...there is no need to ship your speakers to Regnar for simply refoaming...unless you are contemplating their complete refurbishment...which costs close to 1k...I would ask your local hi-end shop...or try your luck DIY>...
Check your mid-range driver as well as there are frequently linear radial cracks in the surrround. I had Regnar upgrade the caps, wiring, and reconed and suspended the Advent woofer. Very pleased with the result.
OK I am convinced to do the refoaming the DQ-10 speakers. Can you use acetone to remove the glue from the dges of the cone and the basket. Will the acetone not damage or burn the cone because I have found some very very sticky glue on the cone itself. I've tried to remov e completely the remaining glue for hours and I cant all of them. I am assuming acetone will be the answer. Thanks
As Howard indicated above, I mailed my woofer from my Dahlquist DQ-20's to Simply Speakers(simplyspeakers.com). Got them back in very short order and they were done to perfection.
