Default OEM Speaker for 1970

I'm looking for an OEM right side 4" x 6", 10 Ohm speaker for my 1970 Corvette. If you have one you want to sell, please let me know the cost.

Needing one that works, or a core for a recone? Have a core for you if that’s what you want.

Thanks for the reply. My first preference would be to find one that works. If I'm not successful, I'll give you a shout back.

I think it would be very difficult to find a used working factory speaker and harder for a working nos. Also, it is out of sight so a Delco replacement 10ohm with your existing wires soldered to it would be a very good replacement. If you are intent on a working original only then get yours restored, but it will be pricy.
Here's an example of what I did. The replacement needed holes to match original and the wires are from the original. The new holes weren't close to the cone.

Thanks for the suggestion.
A forum member was kind enough to offer speakers, so I'm planning to go that route. If they need to re-coning or a full rebuild I've been in contact with someone who does that and was recommended by another forum member.

I am in the same situation,
I have a pair that has nice mint cones but the baluster is gone
Would you mind sharing the info on who can replace the baluster.

Thanks, grant

Thanks for your help
I repaired an original working set on the cones via you tube but will send out my other mint originals to get re-magnetized. I think that is the problem
Will probably sell the ones I have restored. They actually work pretty good. GM quality!!!!

Thanks again.
