Based on most Technics speaker cabinets I've seen over the years, I can't see how it would be worth the effort or investment.
Speaker boxes. To rebuild or not to rebuild
Morning gang,
I picked up a free set of Technics 3 way SB-2860. I cant get any good sound out of them. No bass and all tinny.
Is there a speaker rebuild kit on a website that I can buy drivers, mids and tweeters as a kit? Any recommendations? These wont be my premier set, so we can go average on the expense. But, I think the cabintes are in very good shape and it would be a waste just to toss them?
Thoughts?
Thank you
Marty

Um, not worth spending a lot of cash into, BUT, totally worth using them to learn about speakers! :) If you wan to, come over to the DIY forum where you'll find a lot of peeps who will help you do just that. http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/ It could be a simple bad wire, or blown cap/resistor. As a learning exercise, worth fixing. As a restoration project, not so much. Best, E |
You could as saiod, Frakenspeaker them. Or contact Technics and do the rebuild yourself from orig or current drivers and x overs. You might get lucky and find that technics still has a line on orig parts for them. Some makers do. Some do not. Wouldn’t hurt to make a call and find out. As was said, there’s a real learning experience in there somewhere just waiting. |
