AR Classic 18 added to the collection

After being away overseas for 5 years I found that the dust cap on my AR-18 Classic woofers disintegrate (must have been the humidity plus I left them without the grilled attached). What are my options? Are these repairable? Or should I look for a new replacement on Parts Express? All the foam surrounds are still intact on the woofers. Any help
is appreciated.

I had the same problem with the woofers on my AR 710. All 4 woofers had the same dust caps as yours. They all turned white and got brittle and fell apart. I used plastic dust caps that I ordered from eBay. I carefully cut off the remains with an x-acto knife and blew out any debris before gluing on the replacement dust caps. The pictures show the one dust cap that was still whole before I started the process.
