Ah yes, that 'pinging' sound.......It drove me crazy until I isolated it!
I had a bit of that sound on my Resolectric cone, and I tamed it with a couple of strips of self stick felt on the underside of the cone. I was able to determine this prior to dismantling by touching the cone with a pencil eraser through the cover plate holes.
If yours is the 'sieve' strainer pattern, oops......not gonna happen that easily.
My Resolectric is modified quite a bit. I've put in a one of a kind magnetic pickup, plus I have a Crown condenser mic in the sound well.

Howard
