Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection

Now I have F's with rotten surrounds, but rest look nice, perfect even. Cones, spiders look great. 

One surround is done, decimated.  Other is intact, perhaps replacement as is not identical. 

Perhaps I try replacing surround? 
Any new and improved surround options? Willing to replace/ get repaired more, if necessary.  

Cursory search doesn't reveal any drop in replacement.  Or, am I wrong? I see the Ohm return/upgrade to newer version options. 

Experienced and insider opinions sought. I'm not cheap, and I'll spend the money to obtain the exceptional if needed. So, what are the likely and less likely options   TIA
What is that one "clone", HHR? Need to check...  i heard it at a show years ago.

+1 @trudat IOW it’s the HHR Exotic that proves the merit of Walsh’s conception-- or maybe a German Physiks. A $400 restoration of a Ohm F is a straw man.

It's a good thing this is not about Quad speakers. I'd never get out alive! LOL

I find it refreshing return to my earlier days, when I defended inexpensive audio. How many times have I been accused of "selling", as though my primary goal is not performance, but convincing others to spend money. Let this exhibit stand as an example of the blowback that happens when fans of a certain brand or speaker chide someone who could, but choses to take the economical route! 

This makes me a hero for the budget audiophile!  ;)

So far, the best aspect of this project has been getting the King Towers back into the rig. Man, am I happy to have them! It's great to have direct comparison to a full range driver omni. It will be fun to switch between in order to gain appreciation of each technology.
