    filling in blank

    OK 1000 watches thanks .
    My adventurous repair continues. Space cut the brittle became part was closed with a piece of wood. Than at least brittle became board strength comes out. Also it may become volume after drying is small like a putty, cracking of the case where the amount is larger does not occur. Not the best but I think that it is a better choice that can be relatively simple.

    First, by processing the shape of the piece of wood to measure the dimensions of the space,
    also adjusted so to be as uniform as possible shape at the same time the board side.

    The crack of the main body side and sufficiently filled in advance adhesive, ensuring the adhesive strength Place the overnight time.
    The piece of wood and the space and install with the adhesive.

    Reinforcement

    I put the reinforcement to all corners by the board of deterioration. Although it was also thought to hold to use screws, to adhere to the position out from that has been degraded, to hold the total has structure has also considered whether better.

    The crack of about needle of the syringe does not turn, was pressed into the adhesive drilled. The entrance of the hole was plugged with a bar of fine wood.

    y60kuro, Good fortunes keep coming for you my friend. The 4311 look like another fun project.

    I am so glad to see people taking time to do repair work well. I can't tell you how often I've seen or heard someone planning to fill gaps in wood with non-wood products... I can't understand it. Keep up the good work.

    Hi mortron Are your nissan and Lansing is OK ? Yes I think so too . I am running 4312A and victor SX-3 .4312A is for jazz ,SX-3 is for another music classic, vocal and FM radio. I think my 4312A is bit loud mid range to my ear I dont like this, so I will exchange 104H-3 to LE5-2 . This time I got 4311 yes it has LE5-2 mid unit ,but it is broken no sound . I think it will re-corn or import good condition used unit from USA .

    4343 repair is my first work on the these speaker system . That is right you said speaker board is non-wood product but one of wood product I think . I think if they have problem it is ”The difference between the expansion rate due to moisture absorption” . real wood piece is bigger than 4343 box board . but no problem I think and it is better Laminated lumber than real wood.someday I will need to repair again . I will go to make 4344,4341,4333 box . this is my 4311 next fun . I have a time to think which box is good for me

    Remove glass wool

    OK I decided to remove glass wool for check and reinforce 4343 box . so long times makes wood parts smaller and adhesive is week and board is damaged by humid . I will show you how it is . We cant hear loud volume revel ,very smaller volume than you, because we are very small housing situation . so I cant ignore box resonance at these small volume . These aged box (loosen connection )occur more box resonance than good condition box I think . I dont know what design concept to make these box structure .It is a very loose structure from a sense of Japanese speakers. Or probably because resonance of the box is intended to be used at high volume which is not worried. Yamaha, ONKYO, DIATONE box is very amazed by robust. Which is feel to be a difference in the design concept rather than good or not . I am very interesting these difference .


    At first the take gloves and mask , it peels off from the adhesive surface with a scraper.

    Is that a copy of an original assembly checklist from JBL for your speakers? Where did you get that? Did that come with every speaker?

    Its super cool to find something like that. Back then you had a blank master copy of that form in a file cabinet somewhere and you would copy the heck out of it, nowadays it would be on some e-library within JBL, what's the fun in that.

    unit check

    A little another topic

    It was sounded by connecting the removed units(2405,2420) to the network,

    It feels like the volume is small.

    I wonder if the magnetic force of the unit is down to extreme? Re-magnetized might need.
