Hello Ron and Rob,
Anyway that Visaton brand speaker really sounds great in my other sets that I have used them in.
I will post some photos of the chassis at this moment I am replacing all the electrolytic and coupling capacitors and defective resistors .
One thing I did find is there is a low ohm resistor that was original 18ohm and someone replaced it with a 10 ohm .
Sincerely Richard
Find
