Altec 416 - A slipped disc!
One of my 416's is buzzing. I isolated the noise, removed the dust cap, and found that the disc glued to the pole piece has slipped and is resting against the paper. It's stuck in place.
Is there a way to remove and reset the disc without damaging the driver?
Thanks,
Darren

The A8's are singing...thanks again
I am relieved that I have kept the two lf drivers in their original condition.
This issue aside, the cones are in fantastic shape.
These are late 70's, I believe with 416-16z lf drivers. The compression drivers were completely corroded, so I replaced them with GPA 909 16ohm.
I'll add that the 32b bent horn is really nice sounding. More mellow/less forward than the bigger horns.
