It is virtually impossible to satisfactorily repair older speakers, unless the company that made them is still currently in business and making original replacement parts available.
Vandersteen and JBL, for example, would fall into that category. Most companies do not.
Replacement speakers will almost never have the same impedance or acoustic characteristics of the original, and therefor the performance of the speaker will be seriously impaired and not truly be "restored" to a satisfactory degree.
I advise you to get new speakers and forget about trying to restore old ones.
