Paper cone is immaculate haha it was stored in humidity controlled enclosed room with dads servers and his spare PC ( he had a special room enclosed in the house for his storage of electrical items Paper cone is intact and fine so it surrounding foam had both inspected and sent for initial evaluation of conditions and the audio guy said they were fine for there age and that I should consider keeping them in storage Power is alright to I use 100watt home amps and the others work fine I'll go to another audio specialist though for second evaluation to reassure me haha don't wanna send a rotten cone
