Hello Everyone,
I just found this forum, and see there's a wealth of knowledge here. Hopefully someone can give me some direction, as I don't know much of anything about working on speakers.
My dad bought a pair of L75's, a pair of L26's, and a pair of 4311's new while he was in the army stationed in Germany in 1973 or 74. He shipped them all home, and the speakers stayed in the basement unused through my childhood. The L26's were sold for a few bucks after the surrounds fell apart. But now I've been enjoying the 4311's for the last 6 years, and after refoaming the L75's I've been using them as well.
The Problem: One of my LE8T's comes and goes intermittently. If it isn't working, turning up the volume louder (but not really loud) will usually kick it in. The problem is recreatable connected to a different receiver. I pulled the driver from the cabinet and hooked it directly to the receiver, and it looks like the connection/solder from the terminals to where the wires punch through the cone are fine. Last night I set the volume low, and listened to it cut in and out while playing a song. I'm a computer tech, but I know nothing about how to procede further in troubleshooting this, and fear I'm probably not cablable of fixing it. I'm also not sure how much it would be worth spending to fix this.
Thanks for your insight
