Replacing Speakers on jukeboxes

Jukebox gurus - what's the collector's way of thinking when it comes
to replacing speakers on jukeboxes? I have a late 70s seeburg that
has a physically damaged subwoofer...should I be hunting for a used
speaker, an equivalent new replacement, restoring the cone of mine,
put an 'modern' replacement, etc? Obviously this isn't a super
valuable machine, but what do the collectors out there do in a case
like this? Wasn't quite sure how i'd even find the speaker specs to
find a suitable 'replacement', exactly, if that was the best direction
to go...

I would either have it reconed, or get a good used original. Seeburg
designed the jukebox as a whole, and an aftermarket replacement, no matter
how expensive, is bound to make it sound worse.
