IRS Beta -- help


Calling on all and sundry for pointers, info, etc on repairing the EMIM (electro-magnetic midrange) on a pair of IRS beta.
Either repair or find NOS.

Appreciate any ideas & all help. Thanks

I had an Infinity RSII. I tore it apart and sold the EMIMs and EMITs. (threw out the woofers and cabinet)
The usual failure in an EMIM is the tab that connects the wire to the EMIM panel. The inner parts are no longer produced, nor carried by Infinity.
Taking apart an EMIM is easy, you just have to be careful due to the magnets. If it is just the extended tabs, easy to repair.
To find NOS I doubt they exist. (the folks with the big reference sets probably bought them all up many years ago.)
I sold my parts here for $200. each EMIM.
You may find selling the good EMIM EMIT parts might produce more cash than you paid.
Thanks Elizabeth.
Hopefully it's the tabs you mention. I never checked this and will do so.
There is a web group in Yahoo about Infinity classics & another group on the web (link here) http://www.infinity-classics.de/infinity/index.htm
There is a lot of help and parts on these sites.
The second group is in German, but there is an English section if you click around.
Good luck, John
Graz, the guy who makes the ribbon replacements for Apogee speakers, is looking at making new replacements for Infinity owners.

This project was born by Infinity owners at the (Audiokarma forums)...but didn't go over well with management at that forum.

Some of the conversation moved to our forum (Apogee forum)...as a way to help those guys out.

You could probably contact some of the Infinity guys through email to find out how the project is progressing?
