Anyone ever seen one of these homemade diaphrams before? It doesn't leak so I will test it out to see if it actually works ok.

The 4 holes look too close to the edge....but I just had a thought...it sorta looks like the bottom of a soup can with those pleats...I wonder if we could get a can bottom to work, if we could find one pliable enough....

Great rech article..."DIY soup can MPS repair"

Its hard to tell but the center piece was cut out and a new outer flexible part was soldered on to it. Maybe a Ray Greenwood piece? That is how he is making new diaphrams.
