The System

[dantheman91]

I've used Aleene's Tacky Glue on Tannoys in the past. It's water based and mating faces remain movable for a while, works a treat! Apply it with a small art brush. It can be thinned with water if required.

If you don't have a spare, separate the trim ring from the front of the rubber cone surround very carefully for re-use before removing the cone itself. The rear cone spider is held in with screws, make sure the washers don't get into the coil gap or you'll have big problems.

You don't need to remove the gauze dust cap and shim the coil central as some suggest. It is easy enough to get right by feel and a bit of judicious jiggling.

Hi Geoff

Thank you - Yes i have some new Aleene's Tacky in a bottle so will give this to the engineer to use - The work is well out of my league - Watch this space for updates in the coming weeks -

Thank you

The coil rub has been fixed by the Technician no need for the NOS but have a spare one - Next up he just need's to fit the terminal - then a good dab of wood varnish / polish to finish them up then they are making way into my collection - -

Any recommendations for a good wood polish / Varnish?

Last cabinets I did was with Rustins clear satin water based varnish after a rub down first. It was applied with a cloth pad and came up beautifully after waxing, dead easy to apply, two thin coats is enough.

Ohhh Yes - Goosebumps - They took my breath away

My dad's eyeing them up he's had many a Tannoy over the years from Lancaster , Chatsworth , Cheviot 2004 and another in 2008 , Berkeley and a huge pair of GRF or similar cabs with Gold's at one point was fun getting them in the back of a MK4 Escort i remember cos i had to sit in the footwell on the way home looks like we might have to share them -

IMO, there are not many speakers that beat the 'Tannoy Sound'. Not had an Orelle amp (only had an Orelle CDP) but they certainly knew how to take things up high and I'm sure they are a great match for the Chesters. As you say goosebump territory.

Tom Petty suits it all nicely.

The huge soundstage from the Chester's is sensational - recommended the 14 feet apart - The realism of the Instruments even little details in the mixes i have never heard before - So impressed - They love Class AA and Class T from a Topping TP 30 MK2 experimenting

Cheers and Beers

Nice one Dan. I suspect the Luxman may suit the Chesters well.
