Xmas 2015 Restoration project - Heybrook HB2 v1 speakers -Saved from Henpecked Hubbie
These little gems got saved from a friend who decided to move. The wife was all for skipping them as she was sick of seeing them. They had previously entertained many people over many years functioning as a pair of "dinner party" speakers. All I can say they must have had some fantastic parties as the poor things were certainly bashed around.
A few little mods

Firstly speaker surround foams were checked and found to be ok. Tweeter and bass driver were measured on the old multimeter and output was found to be bang on. I desoldered all the old wiring and crappy older solder. I soldered direct from the XO onto the speaker drivers bypassing the connectors shown in picture 4. Finally crappy old binding posts replaced with chunky solid copper jobbies capable of taking >6mm solid core copper if needed.
