I live in Belarus, Europe. I've bought my Sansui sp-5500x in December 18 and I was very very happy. But last week one speaker fell on a thick metal pin and its big loudspeaker was broken and its wooden grille broken as well. Maybe there are some ideas what to do and how to replace or where to buy ... (big loudspeaker and the wooden grille).
my broken Sansui sp-5500 needs help

Even though the tear in the woofer is large, you should be able to repair it. Try to restore as much of the original cone material as possible. Use coffee filter paper as a backing to the cone. Cut the filter paper slightly larger than the hole in the cone. A white glue (PVA) should be applied to the back side of the cone. Place the coffee filter paper on the glue so that it absorbs the glue and adheres to the back of the cone. Considering the size of the tear, you may have to add a second layer of the filter paper after the first one dries. Good luck!
+1 on the woofer driver repair mentioned above.
For the grille, dry fit the pieces back into the same shape they were on the grille (kind of like puzzle pieces and putting them together.) Follow the break patterns and lengths to find which piece goes where. Use a fast setting glue to assemble them one by one when you have the pattern in memory from dry fitting them. Make the joints neat and tight.
Once it’s an assembly again, dry fit it into the space on the grille lattice. Get an idea as to how it will fit by dry fitting it several times. Then use the fast setting glue and place it back into place. Be neat about it.
The light areas can be touched up with colorized lacquer and a tiny art brush.
I’m sure others will have ideas too, perhaps better than mine.
