Made a hole in the dust cap so I can pour in the magnetic flux.

Wow! Didn't expect the flux to have a vapor! Funny smell too. Like bubble gum and metal filings.

Good work!
Always far-seeing to have an first-aid-kit.

The bandaid is really to hold in the smoke, makes the dust cap self healing, usually overnight. :p

I heard they are working on "Voice Coil Repair" in a can as well.

Yes, sadly it's only available in Mexico.

That picture must've been a week later after the healing was complete and a bandage was no longer necessary!

Reminds me of a couple of valuable phrases learned in the field:

"Smoke test": Initial Power-up

"It's no good any more once you let all the smoke out of it": Failure at Power-up, or during operation, usually during a gig.


To repair voice coils, just use this:

Sorry, that is just a hole in a photograph of the dust cap. Why didn't the dude take a photograph of the speaker he is listening to, and poke a hole in that photo's dust cap ? herki[Quote/]

Second speaker he realized he could pour thru the back vent so no band-aid?
