Great suggestion. It worked. I had to use the 4.5 hp shopvac to suck out the cone..... I ended up having to unscrew with entire radiator from the cabinet. It allowed me to really work the vac into the center cone or "dust cover". It was pretty crinkled and it took some time to finally get it to pop out all at once.
I'm not sure it makes a whole lot of difference in sound, but it looks a whole lot better!
Thanks again.
