    Hello fellow pinheads.
    I'm restoring a RS at the moment and while I was soaking my different metal parts in a non toxic rust removing liquid ("Evaporust"), since the cabinet speaker is not in very nice condition, I was wondering if I could immerse the whole speaker in the liquid without damaging it, after soaking the parts, I simply have to soak them in water to remove the product and let dry, so I'll have to soak it in water also.
    Thanks for the input.
    Claude.

    Nope. Wouldn't do it.
    Longer term, just replace it.

    In most cases speaker cones, surround, and spider are made of treated paper coated with an adhesive glue, so I would go with Chris's advice.

    OK, thanks for the advice.
    I think I'll go with a speaker upgade from pinball pro instead.
