                     These 3 pix show the relative size of the first cone built, 19.5"X19.5"  .                       The cone is sitting on the oscillator base, with a helper holding it in position.
The 1st cone.
The magnetic rim is made from a standard polarized strip (1 pole on each side) of high strength flexible magnet material from www.magnetsource.com.

The top side of the cone.
The 2 piece oscillator base assembly
The 2 pix on the left show just the bottom half with the balls in there cups & the pic on right has the top piece inverted to show the pinion ball cups & magnet.
The bottom piece is the same size as the shell & has 4 air holes, 1 is through the center of the magnet.
