High guys, recently got a tdx 10d2 and it had a small dent on the cone when i got it, and then my mother dropped a camera on it and it has a bigger dent near center of cone...it dosnt look as nice.

Any way to remove those dents aside from a recone?

Thnx guys.

Vaccuum cleaner, pinhole and pull it out like a dentpuller would with a small paperclip with a 90 degree bend in it. I imagine that this is the dustcap you are talking about and not the cone. A small amount of compressed air blown in the backside of it may pop it out as well.

i found that removing the dent usually weakens the dustcap and creates driver noise
so unless replacing it i recommend leaving it alone

I was just thinking of that...some like...rock glue or something, in center with something to pull on...once its pulled out I can heat the glue and wipe it off....what you guys think?
