Can a "pushed in" dome tweeter + midrange be savev

Grilleless Gershman Sonograms were approached by 4-year old. All six speakers were "pushed in". I'm wondering if there is any way to create a suction or something that would return the domes to their original shape. There is a soft dome tweeter but also a Morel domed midrange. The dust caps in the woofers are pushed in somewhat but I don't think it matters.

The dust caps I have pulled out using a straight pin with a bend near the tip. Sometimes the cap can be pulled out that way. The suction idea for the other drivers sounds promising, although I don't know just how to implement it. I'm sure someone here will have a good idea.

Good luck,
Dan

Any vacuum with a hose attachment will do it. I've seen it done many times on many speakers. Cheers,

Gently place one end of a cardboard tube from a paper towel roll around the dome, the other end around your lips, and suck. Works like a charm. Better than pins perforating your domes, high powered vacuums detaching voice coils, or left tape residue on your domes.
