Old Speaker Repair?

I have some wonderful large wooden box speakers which are showing their age. I know I can get parts for them, but am having trouble locating a repair manual to educate myself before destroying the speakers. Do you know of a manual or web site I could use to learn from?
 
Years ago I was into building loudspeakers (single, lots of time and money) but I'm not up to date. I bought alot of good components from Madisound. That was about 15-20 years ago though. They used to have a comprehensive book on box sizing fundementals, crossover design, etc. I imagine it's all on web pages now though.

Geez, I used a speaker repair kit to replace the rotting foam on an original pair of Advent speakers made in the early/mid '70s. Forgot where I bought it from but was hard as hell, no room for error. Google speaker repair kits.
 
Just replace the woofers, most of the time thats what goes bad on old paper cone speakers and the crossovers are just fine, Just make sure you get new drivers w/ the same dimenshions as the old ones and the same ohm rating.
 
Sounds like a mess (no pun intended). I have some wonderful 12"woofers that I would like to keep in pristine condition. I've hooked them into my home made surround sound for my computer using two old amps as a bridge of sorts. I plug the speakers into the amps, and the amps into the compy. Sounds great!
