Hey Rick!

Yeah it's all one assembly - the cone, voice coil, dust cap, spider, wires, and surround. He removes the old assembly, cleans everything, installs the new assembly and applies glue and the tar goo to the surround, and check that the magnetic gap is centered and not rubbing. Bill at Great Plains Audio acquired all of the factory gear when they closed down and still services per factory, as well as sells his new current iterations. He also re-mags the Alnico to factory strength as part of the service. They will be good as they were circa 1967. They should sound killer and have more bass now.

The kit should look something like this:
