RE: Altec Lansing 19 Spekaer Re-Cap Advise

Yes the diaphragm is toast. The coil is apparently "open". You can not tell by looking at it that it is bad, but the multimeter does not lie. Get new diaphragms from Great Plains Audio. Probably not cheap, but keep in mind that any money you put into these speakers is a safe investment. You should have no problem getting your full investment back.
For the L-pads from partsexpress you want the 100 watt model. You have four choices, 8 ohm or 16 ohm, 3/8" long shaft or 1" long shaft. The L-pad should be marked on the back as to what the ohm value is. They are most likely 8 ohm.
Good luck.
