Help please? Thanks in advance for any useful input. I've had them nearly
six months now while I tried to find answers and I'd really like to try to
bring them back to life. (The highs and mids sound great for speakers of
this vintage!)

Speaker re-coning services DO exist, although I've never used one.

You can also buy the supplies and re-cone them yourself:

I've used these guys and am happy with the results:

Don't know if they'll do Wharfdale.
As for doing it yourself, it's certainly possible, but if you are like
me it'll take 5 recone jobs to get to an acceptable level of competency.
I learned at a PA company back in the 80's when we had lots of speakers
to recone. But as it's been 20 years since the last time I did it, I
just send it out to someone who's skills are current. YMMV.
