You'd need to be extra careful. These are electret, meaning they don't use energiser, but instead come pre-charged. If you touch the membrane and discharge the charge the speaker will be dead.

I've seen people who disassembled the electret driver. Do you think it's worth it to remove dust and corrosion or just deal with it since the electret will diminish over time?

I think the biggest question is - does it work now?

If not, maybe you can fix it. If yes, then I don't think it's worth the risk.

Yes I confirmed the driver still works with a sine sweep so it's was more an issue of getting it to as close as peak performance as possible.

Thank you for the advice
