I have a pair of L100 in quite reasonable condition - purchased NEW in 1978, and just let do their thing ever since. However, now we are starting to play around with these things - I guess it is time to see what they can do after 27 years of accepting what comes out of the box - so I am moving them around my listening room etc etc. But, one of the cross-overs has a problem I suspect - play around with brilliance and presence settings, and the knobby-thingo on one box is much easier to move than that on the other. Also getting a bit of crackle from the "loose" one.
A thousand years ago I would have pumped some carbon tetrachloride into the pot and let it go. But on the L100 that doesn't look to be that easy, even if it is a good idea. After all the knooby-thingo is really a button and you can't get anywhere near the shaft to pump greenhouse-friendly versions of carbon-t - even if there is a shaft in there somewhere. Maybe it is actually a multi-segmented switch??
Anyway - regardless - can any one advise if there is an adjustment if I was to go to the trouble of removing the networks to do anything. Secondly - is it a good idea to pump anything into the crossovers - am I going to short-circuit something and cause big problems? :(
Then comes a whole heap of other questions - like is it possible that cleaning terminals or replacing internal cabling/wires would help improve things?
Thanks in advance!!
