Doubtful that a guitar amp speaker would have foam suspension, particularly
one from the 80's. *Even new ones are hard to the rim.

But, that doesn't mean the paper hasn't been torn or otherwise deteriorated
from it's mounting.

Could be a bad voice coil.

That would be my guess, and for good reason. He says that if he plays single
notes lightly, it's fine, but when he plays loud chords, it sounds awful. The
voice coil probably has a burn in a spot that is beyond the amount of movement
caused by a light single note, but gets reached when you play louder and the
coil excursion increases.

Then again, if the amp is from the 1980's the speakers are deteriorated
regardless of whether they buzz or not.

Sounds reasonable. how do I identify the voice coil on the board, can
I test without a schematic?

Voice coil is part of the speaker. It's the cylinder at the narrow end.

If you have access to somebody else's speaker cabinet, you could plug your amp
into their speaker and confirm you have a bad speaker.- Hide quoted text -

Cleaned up the parts and connections I could and started playing with
it. Seems to be getting better, I am thinking more about it being
speaker related. But with more and more play, it seems to be getting
somewhat better, could old speakers just be stuck and slowly work
themselves in again?- Hide quoted text -

I suppose anythings possible.....

but have you seen it before? Or anything like it?- Hide quoted text -

Not really. but paper cones can get brittle. I suppose that a bit of
playing can soften up the adhesives a bit, but not really sure. Or
maybe you're getting used to it........

Isn't some distortion on loudly played guitars a good thing?

Oh yeah...

But sometimes a clean tone (with a tad of reverb) is kind of neat too.- Hide quoted text -
