LE-25 Repair

[lgvenable]

A quick search did not show any repairs made to LE-25's.

Has anyone on the forum repaired the wires on an LE-25?

One of mine broke a connection wire just where it enters the spider wall. The dust cone is dented; is it possible to cut it open, then carefully solder & wire to the broke wire connection, then glue a dust cap back on. The tech at Simply Speakers said thats what they do. I didn't know if anyone has done it.
They'll replace everyhting for 79.00, however it'd be nice to use a little thin wire, solder, and a 2.00 dust cap.

There's one thread here where it's been successfully accomplished, yes.

You're riskin' two bucks to try it, tho....

Don't remember, alas. They were replacing the foam on the face of an LE25 and inadvertently broke the wire. Soldered it, worked fine.

Carefully scrape the enamel off (Xacto knife?) to solder.

I can't find it either....
