cast frame Whizzer cones in an SE4122

I decided to take a chance on an SE4122 that had a set of early 1970s cast frame Whizzer cone drivers. at low volumes they sound nice, but with more volume they become "wobbly" like the amp has a tremolo. Then the tremolo becomes a buzzy, rattling distortion with more volume.
It looks like these will go under the knife and get new dustcaps!
This is one way to see if that internet tale really works....

Does the (main) cone on those feel as rigid as one from a 122231 or 122142? Does it have the same ribbing?
I look forward to reading your observations after the whizzer-ectomy.

Removing excess cone material sounds more like a circumcision.

Maybe I should save this for a Convention group activity!
