      search on ebay for "Boston Acoustics A120" and you'll see a bunch of surround repair kits. Buy a kit that includes the glue (~$20) It's an incredibly easy repair on the A120 model because the large woofers are actually passive radiators.

      @@HumbleBearcatI suppose you could put some real woofers in there, but it would absolutely destroy the wonderfully tight and controlled bass of these speakers. The A120 / HD10 speakers are basically Boston Acoustic's version of Polk's widely-loved Monitor 7 speakers. Both models have a 10" passive radiator. I have two videos on my channel doing an A/B comparison of these two speakers and the Boston Acoustics A120's more than hold their own against the Polk Monitor 7's. There is plenty of bass; these things go all the way down to 40Hz.

    Do you still have these speakers? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Do they favor certain music genre?

    • @demotoob3828
      @demotoob3828 Před 6 měsíci

      Yes I still own these speakers and listen to them regularly. Strengths: Acoustic Suspension, Laid-back East-Coast sound with a beautiful sweet-sounding tweeter, Very forgiving of placement so they sound good almost anywhere you put them - which is great if you listen while moving around the room. Also, they sound great at low volume as do all BA speakers. Weaknesses: Some people dislike the tweeter and think it is a bit too lively/fatiguing. I find them to be excellent all-around speakers for all genres of music, but people generally recommend East-Coast speakers for jazz and classical, and West-Coast speakers for rock and pop music.

    RE: the clear ring vs. the black ring: the black ring may be Neoprene, the clear ring may be urethane. Urethane lasts a few years and then rots just like the old black rubber one you removed. Neoprene would be the best material for the purpose: it does not rot but only eventually hardens somewhat over many years.

      OK.The black plastic pieces did hold it together. I noticed one of them had broken and had a crack in the top-middle and as I pried a little it showed that it should come off for opening. One of cables from battery compartment the whole connector for the rechargeable battery (crank charged) were broken. One for regular battery can be soldered back. The other cables I can't see where they connect to the motherboard. It would require removing motherboard, too. We'll see. At minimum it should work w DC in and battery, maybe not rechargeable battery.

Half the time (in my case) they will include the multi-play spindle. You can then fix the parts unit and resell it or simply resell it as a parts unit without the spindle.

    Nicely done! You've found a workable way to replace that gear in about half the steps shown in the service manual which also says to remove all the nose end connections and width levers and move the horizontal arm shaft out of the nose enough to pull up & out the gear/shaft. It's still tight quarters to access the gear compared to the model 457, but very doable as you have shown. There are about a half dozen Singer models that require the top arm shaft to be removed, and I think this could work on a few of them. That plastic gear on the 353/354 is the only weak spot on an otherwise strong & versatile machine, IMO. BTW, the Vintage machines with the dual timing marks use the top mark when setting the height of the needle bar and the bottom mark for setting the needlepoint to hook point timing. We remember upper height and lower hook to get it correct. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this and know how time-consuming it is to find a workaround let alone document it. I'd like to put a link to this on my channel in the 353 Playlist because I still get inquiries several times per year about the hook not rotating on the Genie/Starlet models and at least I could offer your show here as an alternative to many hours long arm shaft removal method. I enjoyed your use of the parts diagrams and good pictures, too. Thank you.

      Thanks for the kind words Andy! I would be honored to be included in your Singer Genie 353 playlist. Sorry for the meager production values and I think I should have probably drank a few cups of coffee before hitting the record button because I had a problem finding words. If you have a list of machines that this fix might work on, please send it to me because maybe I could list them in the video description here for people who want to attempt it. I wish someone would make steel replacement gears for all of the Singer machines that had plastic gears. It's a shame that this Genie model also has such an Achilles heel because the rest of the gears and pulleys seem to be made of metal.

      @@demotoob3828 Thanks for that. I'll make a slide and put a link. No worries about your video. You should see some of my early stuff or the videos I made at 2Am when my insomnia was acting up, haha.

    Thanks. I have a white FR200 on the way from eBay. Good to know where the screws are. Happy 2022.

    Is that a maglite lamp?

    Eton FR300 has FM expanded band on TV1 from 59 - 88 MHz (Russia / Soviet OIRT FM and half part of Japan FM band from 76 Mhz), FM (Japan FM up to 95 MHz): 88 - 108 MHz.

    Amazing sound quality. How does it compare to the a200?

    • @demotoob3828

      I've never heard the a200 but I do know that it is a rather large speaker so I'm fairly certain that it would sound better than the a120

    I've owned that same Grundig for a few years and ended up losing the antenna, but it still works using a wire attached to an external antenna. Just TODAY I stopped at a pawn shop for the heck of it and they had a basically new eton FR-300 with a carry case and original manual for $20, so I grabbed that. Nice to know how to get inside of each if need be, so thanks. My 300 has a eton small cursive letter logo.

    I still own t830 and your recording doesn't do it justice. They sound so good I'm afraid I will be disappointed if I buy new speakers .

    • @demotoob3828
      @demotoob3828 Před rokem

      I agree that the recording doesn't do any of the speakers justice. Unfortunately the Tascam DR2D recorder boosts the high end. You can get a better idea of the actual sound in the room by decreasing the treble. The t830's do sound wonderful!

    I run mine with dual Andrew Jones Pioneer subs. Good sound!

    • @demotoob3828

      I bet it sounds great. These speakers don't require a sub IMHO

    Nice video and recording! Thank you. Sounds great, getting a pair for my temporary apartment I'll be in for work for 6 months since I didn't have room for my main speakers. Most common complaint I see is sounding dry or harsh with poor amplification. Using a Schiit DAC to Sumo Athena preamp to Heathkit AA-1600 amp and a small custom sub for the bottom end

    Sounds very nice. The a150 just don't get the same love as the a400? Top end sound sweet and lively, I like. Reminds me of my Klipsch rb5's
