Dear all
I just acquired a pair of 2441 With 2350 horns. They have been used and abused over a long time, and last years stored in various conditions.
Apparently someone spilled beer into one of the horns, and it have leaked into the compression driver and covered it in a gooey mess. I disassembled the driver and cleaned out what I could. Diapragm of course destroyed. It also looks like the metal ring that forms the voice coil gap is slightly misaligned. Width of voice coil gap is uneven.
Do I need to demagnitize the driver to further disassemble and clean it, or could I just pry it off with brutal force? I live in Iceland, and there are no special speaker repair shops here as I know of. What kind of mechanical shop would have gear to magnetize and demagnitize?
