My impecunious neighbour, who I converted to hi-fi some years ago, has a set of old Sony 3-way speakers.  When the last load shedding came back, his system was on and there was a loud noise.  It turns out now that one of the mid-range drivers has a scraping voice coil and sounds peculiar.  If I gently move the cone back and forth, I can detect a slight scrape.  There is no dust cap on the mid, so I can see down the pole piece

Would you say there is any reliable way to fix this without getting him a new driver?  He really has no money so I would have to buy it
