Does pin hole in woofer affect sound quality?

Hello. I own a pair of 2nd generation DCM Time Windows. I am the original owner of these incredible loud speakers. I am currently restoring my 1980's era Hi-Fi system, including the Time Windows.  After removing the grill cloth from the speakers, I noticed one of the woofers in one of the speakers has a pin hole in the diaphragm paper. How much will this affect the sound quality and response of this speaker? Should I consider replacing this woofer? Thanks!

No, it will not affect sound at all (assuming the pinhole doesn't grow into a quarter-sized hole).

FYI - I've build a few speakers (Siegfried Linkwitz's active Pluto design + a couple from kits) and about a few subwoofers (2 Marty Subs and 1 IB with dual 18-inch woofers)
