Ohm Walsh F Hope of Resurrection

Now I have F's with rotten surrounds, but rest look nice, perfect even. Cones, spiders look great. 

One surround is done, decimated.  Other is intact, perhaps replacement as is not identical. 

Perhaps I try replacing surround? 
Any new and improved surround options? Willing to replace/ get repaired more, if necessary.  

Cursory search doesn't reveal any drop in replacement.  Or, am I wrong? I see the Ohm return/upgrade to newer version options. 

Experienced and insider opinions sought. I'm not cheap, and I'll spend the money to obtain the exceptional if needed. So, what are the likely and less likely options   TIA
What is that one "clone", HHR? Need to check...  i heard it at a show years ago.

Definitely call John Strohbeen at Ohm Acoustics (OA) before having a third party refurb the Ohm F’s.  He was very helpful with me in a number of situations regarding different models of Ohm speakers (Walsh 4s purchased in ‘87, microWalsh set for surround setup purchased in ‘06). 
OA have made upgrades which improve their vintage models, and have newer models that sound better and have improved power and size efficiencies. 
It’s pretty impressive how well OA supports their products. Buying my Walsh 4’s just after getting my first real job was one of the better decisions I made.
