One of my Event TR5s has a dented woofer dust cap.

Consensus here is "no":

If not, I'll stop trying to get the dent out! (vacuum cleaner did not
work!)

Try duct tape or a wad of chewing gum!

** Take a sewing needle and insert the point into the dented part of the dome, at as shallow an angle as possible. Try to pull the dent outward.

Usually works after a few attempts.

A drop of water encourages any pin hole mark left to seal itself over.

Water?? Don't you mean a tiny dab of glue?

** Yep - I had wrongly assumed the cone and dome were made of paper.

Water can work for paper dust caps by expanding the fibres. It's
certainly not going to work for polymer dust caps!

Hmmm.... With care, a piece of duct tape can sometimes be used to pull
the dome back into shape, and it's possible a piece of well chewed gum
could do the same. Shrug Surely, Thekma can't be wrong *every* time.

Thanks. Well it's kind of hopeless to be
rid of this bot I've contracted. Unless a really
ugly piece of code could be used to flood
it's IP address and crash it once and for all.

There's no way any actual human could be
bothered to stalk someone else all over
Usenet, berate them with sewer language, thus
intimidating other users to shy away from good
online conversations. Essentially 'crashing'
threads that it detects me to be participating in.

Most folks today are too busy to engage in that
sort of nonsense.

Do we actually know if it is a paper, plastic, silk, aluminium , or
beryllium(!) dome ?

If left in it may well produce distortion when driven hard. However if
popped out it may be left with a crease which will also be a potential
weak spot and source of dome 'break-up under pressure'.

On balance, I'd pull it out by whatever method. I've even been know to
vacuum such things out (paper or silk, and definitely not beryllium)
with a big kiss.

Here you are posting about me on Usenet, yet you somehow
claim that my responses are "stalking." This is a worldwide
public forum. If you post here, anyone and everyone can
respond. Calling that "stalking" is just retarded. If you want
to prevent people from responding to you on Usenet, don't
post.

The "sewer" comment is typical of your retarded ways,
since "****" is one of your favorite words.

thus intimidating other users to shy away from good
online conversations.

Too sackless to take responsibility for your own status as
an online loser, you blame me. Your own posts are often
the death knell of a thread, all over the 'net. You post,
and nobody wants to respond any more, because you're
such an idiot. When youre a pariah and a moron, it must
be comforting to know that you can just pretend it's someone
else's fault.

Did you get tossed from another moderated forum for being
a retarded douchebag again, li'l buddy? FCKWAF!

** " Mineral filled polypropylene " cone

- according to the advertising.

So it is a fair bet the dome is made of a similar material.

The sewing needle recovery method could be used with any of them.
