I have a horrible feeling I am the only one on this forum to lack one of these invaluable devices. I need a Round tuit. I haven't got one!

I have just repaired the broken speaker terminal on the ESL 63's. It has been broken since long before Christmas - and I have had the spare part , solder, electricity to heat the solder iron, and everything else I need all of that time. It took 15 minutes, and that was with paranoid high voltage discharge precautions.

Makes no difference to the sound, but means I no longer have a plastic bag between the speaker leads to stop them shorting.

As ever, once the job is done, I'm left wondering why I put it off for so long :scratch:

Am I alone, or do others fall from grace?

I always fix things before they need repairing. If I waited until afterwards, it would never get done. (Well unless Alan happens to be near of course:eyebrows:)

I used to share, with my ex a large flat in Islington, it was the top two floors of an Edwardian town house. My ex got me one of these, in a kind of "Passive Aggressive" way of saying that I did nothing round the house. At the time I had just, in the course of two weeks repainted the whole place, (emulsion on the walls, strip, prime, undercoat and 2 gloss coats on all woodwork),. rewired the first floor and plumbed in the new shower. At the same time I was running Tin Pan Alley Studios, producing for Nervous Records and running designing speakers for a UK manufacturer....... I understand she still wonders why she's my ex :lol:
