The bass driver coils can foul in the magnet gap, but that can usually be sorted. The T27 tweeters should be OK.
A recap is a sensible move. I used new Alcaps from cricklewood electronics on ebay. Put some foam pads behind the crossover to stop it resonating.
Don't interfere with the foam interior damping, it's supposed to occupy most of the cabinet volume.
These are really lovely sounding speakers and a good pair is an appreciating classic. You should find them every bit as enjoyable as your Eatons.
Many thanks Geoff
Really useful info. Any tips on what simple things I can do to establish what is what before I embark on more serious stuff like a recap?
I see some folks use a battery and a multimeter to test things. I already have a multimeter and I guess I can scrounge a battery from somewhere.
Would it be better if I started a new thread in the DIY section?
