Hello,
I purchased a used set of 4410A's a couple of weeks ago on ebay and was surprised to find that the inside cone of the mid range came loose and pulled the connectors on the back of the tweeter right off. Also, some how the titanium dome was pushed in. The dome was easily fixed by placing my mouth over the speaker and vacuuming it out. As far as the connectors to the tweeter, I don't have a problem glueing it back on to the plastic. What I'm having a problem with is the little wires that come between the titanium dome and the cardboard backing that holds the plastic, dome and wires together. These little wires have been severed. I lifted the cardboard and I'm able to see these little suckers but they are so damn small. I'm thinking of soldering a piece of thin speaker wire to it to extend it back to the connectors. I worried that my electronic soldering gun might melt the wire and shrivel it up further back from the heat.
Is this metal resiliant to heat from an electronics soldering or am I out of luck and nothing can be done. If the wire isn't resiliant, what do you suggest I do. The wire is right at the tip of where the cardboard begins. Therefore I have at least 1/2 inch to work with.
Thank you for you help in advance.
