My compression driver has a clogged bug screen
I sent this driver out (Altec 802) to a professional for a new diaphragm and a magnetic recharge...
When it returned, I noticed that the fine mesh screen is partially blocked with some corrosion. ..this corrosion is about the size of the top of a Q-Tip...
What should I do?
I may be able to cut the screen out with a long Exacto knife but it may require taking the diaphragm off first... As I recall, these drivers have installment pins to align the diaphragm... ..the screen on these drivers is at the back of the throat NOT at the front like modern JBL drivers...
I'm planning on using the driver on the back of a 511 Altec cast horn and it will be installed OUTSIDE a cabinet in my garage where some bugs may get access...
