hello everyone, you have a very excellent forum.
today i have a question regarding a crooked magnet on a k130.
I had to take the dust cap off this thing as i could hear a loud buzz every time i played a 'g' note on my guitar.
i blew the voice coil gap clean with an air nozzle, and my problem was gone.
while I was doing this, I noticed that the magnet was not exactly aligned under the top plate. I estimate that it is out by two or three mill.
Wary of bent frames and bad shipping practices, i carefully checked the frame for any warpage, i carefully measured the speaker on top of a flat machined surface, and it is flat and straight, unbelievably so actually.
The speaker has been reconed, and is 4 ohms. This work was done in 1990.
It sounds really good (now that buzz is gone) and im wondering if this thing must have recieved a knock, or whether the guy on the production line just slapped it in there crooked.
Another observation..the speaker has more highs and sounds more transperant with the dust cap off. I know this sounds erroneous, but im sure of it.
regards
crumb
