Evening all
Another one of those questions which, in many ways, I’m a bit embarrassed to ask because I realise that I should know the answer!
Recently picked up a pair of Castle Avons (in fact saved them going to the dump) and was fully intending to use them in a second system.
The cabinets have polished up really nicely.
Tweeters look immaculate - not a mark on them.
The mid range drivers - gaskets obviously re-glued in the past.
Now the problem. No sound coming from one of the mid range drivers. I removed it from the cabinet - and this is where I’m probably not going to use the proper terminology.
The two thin copper? wire strands, from the +ve and -ve cables, to the voice coil - one of these has snapped off and is in mid air - connected to nothing.
Can it be repaired? Is it worth the cost?
If it can’t be repaired, I guess I need to call someone like Falcon to see if they can suggest a replacement. But I realise I’d need two.
Or, best to search on E-bay for a used driver?
The last thing I want to do is to consign these speakers to the re-cycling centre! The cabinets alone are bits of furniture.
Am very grateful for any pointers and as ever, I do regard all replies as a learning exercise. Thanks
