Wanted: Royd Minstrel bass driver

[Griffy]

I'm after a Royd Minstrel bass driver so I can fix mine!

Someone must have one....

[Griffy]

A pair of drivers would be ok, if the price is right :)

Well best of luck!! Because they are getting more rare!!

Are you sure that the drivers don't need 'de-gunking'? It sounds like a buzzy distortion if the goo is leaking onto the voice coil pole piece. I fixed mine this way.

The non working bass driver is not gunked up, although there is a little bit of resistance on the pole (I'm told this is because the voice coil is fried)

I tried putting 1.5v from an AAA battery on the driver terminals, it did absolutely nothing, so needs replacing. :(

Bump!

Try asking Bourney on the Wam, failing that over at the hifi subjectivist Richard can put new drivers in for you but they would then be non orginal.

Alternatively hit audiochews.com. :)

Bump, still looking :doh:

I have a set of royd minstrels, - I sold them on ebay a few days ago, working flawlessly..

The guy phoned me up saying there was a problem with one of the tweeters and he put the phone to the speaker, it did sound like one of the tweeters had gone so I told him to bring them back to me and i'd refund him, I refunded him and I hooked them up to my system and yet again they are working flawlessly..

But due to the problem somebody else had - I cant guarantee one of them will work 100% - However, I'd be willing to sell the pair.. They're in a mahogany finish, on custom plinths ( exactly like the real ones but no spike holes ) and the badges are missing.. You can have the pair for £130.00 + £15 postage and packing, if you like - They might also work flawlessly for you which will result in a bargain pair of speakers.

I cant explain the fault with them because they work perfect for me - But I was told one of the tweeters had gone on them.. but you should have 2 full working bass drivers and a spare tweeter, and you can re-sell on ebay or whatever!

This was the ebay sale : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271339090673?ssPageName=STRK:MESDIX:IT
As you can see they sold for £240.00 due to their condition..
PM me if you're interested
