How do you clean L300 horn inside?
How do you guys clean dust/grit inside the longer horns?
My L300's LE85/2312 horns have spidey webs and what looks like grit inside them, primarily in the silver-colored couple inches at the extreme rear in front of what appears to be a screen. A vacuum pulled out the webs but not the grit, just swirls it around. I do not want to damage the driver diaphragms with a pointy tool or push the vacuum too far in in case it hurts the driver. I don't really want to pull them apart.

Grit ... and LE85 support?
Grit: I threaded in a small parts magnet tool and it was unable to grab any of the grit so I'm thinking it's nonmagnetic. It also swirled around with the vac inserted so I think it's fairly lightweight, also evidence it may not be magnetic.
- 1st try: I will get a micro vac kit tonite as recommended and give that a try - does anyone know if the screen in front of the diaphragm is very 'strong" if I bump it with the vac? Haw far in front of the diaphragm is it? Of course, I will be as careful as I can but the lighting in there ain't!
- Fallback if I open it up - are there any things to watch for such as seals/gaskets that may need to be replaced? Loctite on the bolts?
ALSO: I notice the LE85's have approx 1/2" clear space above the cross braces. Should they be supported solidly to the brace or sit on foam or something? A lot of weight hanging on that 11.5" horn, a long way from the 3/4" baffle board with its 4 screws!
POWER: 350wpc isn't enough to get it out! it just jumps around! :bouncy:

I usually just task her with any items I need cleaned.
