An attempt to remove the Field Coil from a G speaker
#20

Arran

The oxidation seems to go deep, a few layers. The break starts right there, but then it will occur on every layer for a few layers thereafter. I could keep unwinding it until I find where it stops, and it is quite possible the number of layers will be limited to a 2-3 00 Ohms, which would be acceptable. But it is not a given. It is a spot that permeated through, all the way to the place where the wire was coming out of the paper.
Yes I'd like to repair this, if only to gain a basic training, as I am yet to repair my first speaker. Depends on how well I do with replacing the coil and repairing the spider.
I do not even know how to glue the spider back, and keeping the cone vertical strictly perpendicular to teh spider.
I need for someone to guide me through.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
