    If they are soldered your gonna need a iron, be carefull soldering on the unit terminal, attach a miniture crock clip to dissipate some of the heat, as a temp measure you could cut the wire, transfer unit from other speaker, twist the wires back together wrap some electrical tape around the twist.

    What you are trying to establish is weither one of the caps is duff or the unit, caps need replacing anyway..Im assuming you have an early pair with brown hard wired boards when you say they are soldred?

    Hi

    Just seeing if the unit is faulty. Got them home hooked them up Called the guy he said they have never been tested and were sat in the loft for 10 years plus he was given them by a sound engineer who toured with bon jovi and queen. He said come back and collect your money and you can keep them as they need space :. The condition is not too bad could be worse. The tweets have the grills missing.

    They are 'HF2000' it's just the dust caps are missing from the diaphram.. You could buy new T2373 kits at one time..

    Post #111 Dan, were just trying to establish if it's the Driver or one of the X-Over caps that's the problem, the other mid range unit is ok.so by swaping them over the seemingly duff one should then sound ok, if it does'nt it's the unit that's the problem.
