Tannoy dust caps

[cooky]

I know it's a fairly common practice to remove the dust caps or not bother installing them after a recone and was wondering where they all go?
I'm after a pair of the 4.5 inch nylon mesh ones from the K/DU models(3128/3828 etc).
The cloth HPD ones are still available from that man on eBay but scrap or mint would do....

None, nada?

When I sold my K3808 project, put them in the cabs for the buyer to use at later point.. Think others just throw them out..

I live in hope.

There must be numerous types available on the web, I would go for the coarsest mech you can find, and nylon is likely to attenuate HF less than cloth/fibre types.

Genuine pair now sorted, thanks.

I have heard the opinion that without dust caps you need to blow off compressed air every year to avoid accumulation of dust. Because dust can become a conductor and cause problems.

Not so. Dust will not build up in the voicecoil gap as the oscillations of the cone produce a pumping, bellows like effect blowing air back and forth through the coil area.

Dust accumulating on the cone surface can be brushed off carefully with a soft paintbrush or makeup brush. Use of compressed air is not a good idea.
