Bo,
what is thing that you do no longer get JBL Kit's?
Does this mean that it is forbidden for reconers to sell you kit's? I mean if the door direct from JBL is closed, can't you use backdoors?

Hey, Guido...

JBL Pro will not sell recone kits to us Pedestrians, no matter how long we've had a "relationship". They have, in the past year-or-so, halted sale of recone kits to Authorized JBL Repair businesses. And, if any of them onward sell, they could lose their access (read: JBL authority). So, the "backdoor" too, is closed. Bummer...

I guess I've done my last recone, and am relegated to doing resurrounds only, even though I can (and would...) recone most everything that cycles through my world.

Well.... I think I have found the problem.

Hey, Scott...

Is there enough slack in the braid that you can tighten-it-up a bit? Can you de-solder the connection to the tang, push the braid further through and take-out some of the slack? Maybe just bending the tangs a bit will suffice. I'm in here, since I've not worked on the 2234 or 2235.

G'Day,
Well do I feel like a goose... I just had to bend the binding post tabs up and all is well.... if the honk fits!

Thanks Bo. I was missing the obvious. (A personal trait of mine)

The Fs of the drivers has not changed much after the burn in.

2235 before 17Hz after 17.3Hz
2234 before 19.5Hz after 19.2Hz

I am going to borrow another function generator just to check the figures again.

Thanks & Regards Scott
