Hi All,

It's been a few yeas that I've posted in the Lansing forum. Figured I'd log in and see if my account was still active.. It is :)

So the past few months, I've been getting into the...

Hi All,

I’ve been a little busy with work/life to get on the site and provide an update.

I got some great advice from Gene at Sertech, a few weeks back, and decided to knock them out...

Thanks Tom,

“I said what I said because in your OP you seemed uncertain as to how you wanted to proceed, that, and the musing aloud as to whether (or if) the correct 3-roll surrounds can be...

Hi Tom,

Again, thank you for the contact info.

I just got off the phone with Ken. I'm emailing him now to get the details worked out. The best option would be to soak the surround, and spider...

Hi Wagner,

Thank you for the contact info. Ill be giving him a call in a few minutes.

As for your comment about me "dicking around"... No, I'm trying to pick the minds of folks who may have...

Thanks 4343 Ill be reaching out to Ken today. As for the tar, I have tried some acetone and it works well. I'm more so worried about the coils. Thank you for the post.

Kind Regards,
John

Pictures of the magnets...

Hi again,

I was able to get an adaptor for my shop vacuum, I just need to track down a small enough hose that will fit in the rear of the magnet. I will have to cut the dust screen in order to...

Hi Guys,

I picked up a set of D-280's this weekend. They sound fantastic, but I can tell there is some corrosion on the coil or magnet pole. I can hear dust/junk on the inside. When they are...

Hi Arne,

The tech said he can get them... let me know how you want to proceeded..

Thanks for the Tip,

I spoke with Dave this morning, he said that the kits they have are the same as Speaker Exchange. There is no point in ordering it as the size of the cones they offer are not...

Hi Arne,

I sent him a text this morning. If you PM me with you email info, I can put you two in contact.

Kind Regards,
John

Yes I can ask him, he is pretty skilled in his work. He uses Kapton for the coils. It handles the heat better.

I'd love to give the shop name some credit, but not sure if that is allowed on the...

Hi All,

I recently picked up a set of the D-208 drivers, I'd like to get them re-coned but am having some trouble.

I'm in the process of re-coning them, and was able to track down some cone...

Good Morning All,

It's been a while, I did not forget about the L-150's :) I wanted to knock out the Sansui 717 before I stated the JBLs. Nonetheless, I knocked out the Sansui yesterday.. See...

Good Morning audiomagnate,

I did not know this, looks like I will be replacing them. Is there a better brand that I should go with, or would the local frys/ Radio shack have something suitable? ...

Thanks rdgrimes,

Ill have to track down some o44s, eBay was a bust... Just checked. There is someone on CL who has some midrange drivers, they look like the LE5-2's but they look a little newer,...

Good Morning Doc,

Thank you for the kind words, I would love to get my hands on some original literature. I agree, the deal I got is pretty amazing. Mind you I needed to downsize a few months...

Good Morning rdgrimes,

I have not had the opportunity to test any of the 044 tweeters, this is only my 2nd pair of JBL's and my L-110A's have the 033's. Will the 044 tweeters fit the same cut out...

Good Morning Grumpy,

Thank you for the information. I figured I would spray a little Deox-it in the L-pads, is it possible that they will need to be replaced? Do they hold a value that can be...

Good Morning Lansing Folks,

Hope all of you had a great Christmas/New Years. I have been in the process of acquiring a pair of the L-150s for a few weeks now. Yesterday I was able to finally get...

Good Morning Lansing Folks,

My friend dropped them off today. He said they were in good cond., he was right... They are a good 8 out of 10. The grills have a little spot on them but nothing that...

Good Morning Lansing Folks,

Hope all is well, I have yet to finish my makeshift stands, but hope to have them completed this morning. Once I have them done, I plan to upload an HD video to...

Thanks macaroonie,

I ended up cutting down some 4x6's, they will get them off the floor for now. Going to stain them dark walnut. They are nothing special, but they get them off the floor.
