This is my first post. I just got a pair of Model 19 from a person who is the original owner of the speakers since 1978. I didn't know how heavy they were until I went to pick them up, and it was a struggle to get them into my house.
Unfortunately, the high freq. drivers don't make any sound in either L or R; woofer works. He said that they are working well... Oh well. The HF and MF dials don't make any difference, neither. Does this mean broken 802-8G's? Or could it be something wrong with the cross-over? I looked at the cross-over, and the wires seem to be attached to 802-8G. I also didn't see any blown caps or resistors.
Is the next step to pull out 802-8G and to bypass the crossover by directly connecting it to an amp?
Since both sides have broken 802-8G, I'm guessing that the previous owner played it too hard and blew them.
If the problem is broken 802-8G's, can I just replace the diaphragms? Or should I send them to Great Plains Audio? What would be an approx. cost?
Thank you for any help!
