    Wow, that diaphragm definitely has a Shroud of Turin thing going on.

    Yes....but the humidity in Oslo today is 86%, and 74% average year round. 8 years of accumulated moisture is going to have an effect, as you can see. Once the moisture goes in, it's not coming out without leaving some residue behind.

    It looks nice and the cables seems to be as Martin wu's picture regarding the faston. My wrong here, Sorry Martin!!

    But your cable attaching to the diafragman looks different. Flat wire contra round.

    I can agree that moisture can be a problem.

    Baldrick, your voice-coil looks good-enough ( iow; its not damaged ).
    - It's just not the cleanest coil winding job that I've seen.

    On a different matter;

    In my opinion, you should remove the driver body from the horn before replacing the diaphragm.

    Working on the driver ( with the gap vertically oriented ) is all too easy to make a mistake during re-assembly.

    IME, it's safer/better to work on drivers when you can walk around them ( 360deg ).

    I am not gonna open mine, don't have any moisture in my room. As long it's sounds fine I am not gonna bother with this issue. Maybe in 10 years

    Can TrueExtent Be diaphragms be installed in the 476Mg core?

    Yes count me in as well not going to open mine either unless a measurement goes funky or an impedance sweep goes awry

    That's a good question to which I personally don't have an answer.

    Easy to clean up the steel ring but not in the phase plug.

    Can it be something from the inside of the dia due to excessive heat? Glue perhaps? Can you post a picture of the phase plug side of the dia.

    Is it original JBL dia’s? I have not seen those lead covers on the leads from the WC on any other dia. I don’t have them on my 475Nd dias.

    I have not seen Aquaplas coated dias loosing coating like in the picture so that may also indicate heat maybe? On the other hand, I do not have any Mg’s just Ti, Alu and Be.

    “Bubbleboy76” and “hlaari” (and probably many more) here on LH are using 476MG and has opened them so they should be able to bring some light on the coating issue.

    Kind regards

    I need to check out my 476Mg drivers, it does not look good like this

    Hi Earl K,

    what kind of problem can expected to use Be-Trx diaphragm with 476 core.
    I can imagine that Mg diaphragm would produce higher F/R response then Be-Trx one.
    Using JBL Be diaphragm, would be different story, I think.....

    regards
