Does pin hole in woofer affect sound quality?

Hello. I own a pair of 2nd generation DCM Time Windows. I am the original owner of these incredible loud speakers. I am currently restoring my 1980's era Hi-Fi system, including the Time Windows.  After removing the grill cloth from the speakers, I noticed one of the woofers in one of the speakers has a pin hole in the diaphragm paper. How much will this affect the sound quality and response of this speaker? Should I consider replacing this woofer? Thanks!

K, for you only.. The last place you punched a hole in the wall. Look in there..  How about a walk through Home Depot. Look on the floor in the insulation department..

Toilet paper, just like a cut on your face from shaving. Dab with nail polish, dab on the the TP, depending on the color of the paper, is whether you use it FIRST or not.. LOL Brown TP White TP, you choose..
OK.. Only for you though K..

Regards..

A pin hole? If it is truly a pin hole, I'd leave it.

Thank you all for the responses. It truly is just a pin hole, so maybe just some glue to keep the hole from expanding. And thank you latik for the video of the time windows, very nice sound indeed. It looks like a sub-woofer has been added to the system. Definitely something I plan to do as well. Those who know Time Windows know that they have wonderful mid-range and highs but are somewhat lacking at the bottom end due, I suppose, to the relatively small woofers. I am optimistic that an external crossover and added sub-woofer will round out the sound of the system.
