    Large format alnico driver.

    Hi Can anyone explain in detail how a large format JBL driver such as the 2440-2441 is disassembled??? I have a cut-away picture of one and figure they are press-fitted and then regaused, but would like to know the procedure used to break it down to the parts that make up the driver.

    They are held together by the sheer power of the alnico magnet. They are not user serviceable, other than replacing a diaphragm.

    So if i was to deguass the drivers would they fall apart??? Is the top plate not a press-fit?
    I should mention i picked up a pair of 2440,s plus a ti.dia. in Tulsa the other day for $20.00 US. ,they have broken throats and a little bit of corrosion,and i thought if i could take them apart and clean up the castings and then maybe drop them off at orange county they could re-assemble them. At the price i paid i got nothing to lose,in fact maybe i could get them sliced in half for display,hey Don if i go this route i will give you a slice Any one else want a slice?

    How would you handle a neodymium driver?

    The word neodymium scares me.
    In fact, it sounds downright spooky!
    I would wear this and use a long screwdriver so I could keep my distance...
