Video

Thank you, thank you, thank you...for the video and for not assuming information so the newbies like me can learn. Excellent tricks that will be applied in my next (first) project.

Love the video! Are your plastic shims the same thickness as a piece of standard copy paper?

Ahh...the old Taiwan tonegen speaker.

what was wrong with the old cone ?

Nice Video as always Could you Please confirm the material used to fill up the enclousure is that fiberglass or something else ?

Nice Video excelent Advise about the Caps , question for you the material used to fill up the Cabinet is fiberglass ?

like a delicate painter making a masterpiece

and what treatment did you use?

Thank's for Your works! It's awesome!

As alternative to use a knife to remove the badge I was told to try with a (guitar?) metal string. It should work too... maybe even better (and more safely). Opinions?

Wow I will now rethink my plan to restore my 901 pair.

Have a pair of KEF 104/2 and one speaker doesn't work. It won't 'Tone' for continuity. Will end up opening it up and doing a visual. Wondering if I test the crossover plus(+) minus(-), if it tones out then there is an 'Open' short somewhere. If the crossover doesn't 'Tone', then that's should be where the issue lies. Would I be correct? Anyone here reading this, any input is very much appreciated. Soon to be (in 21 days) 63yo 'Wanna Be' Audiophile from the SF Bay Area, Ca. Speakers owned: KEF 104/2, KEF C80/Series2, Jamo Classic 8, Klipsch Heresy (1978) Many Amplifiers, mostly Sony ES TA-E9000es, TA-N9000es, DA4es, Yamaha CA800 just to name a few.

Do you have any suggestions on how to remove a dustcap on a late 40's 12" Bell and Howell Jensen? I bought one of those Filmosound cabinets that was water damaged for practically nothing for the speaker which I wanted to restore on the cheap. There was some rust and the person who owned it tried to remover the speaker which the cone partially stuck to the baffle. since the cone was basically torn into two piece I hoped to repair it but I don't believe this is possible or sensible. I have an intact spider and voice coil and bought a replacement paper cone. I "think" the best way is to remover the remnants of the cone and the dust cover but I am having trouble removing the dust cover so I can shim the Voicecoil before glueing the surround of the cone to the basket. I have wondered if I should just glue the new cone to the spider and use a battery to space the V.C. while glueing the spider and then the cone. Any suggestions?

Nice nice nice very very very

Really enjoy your videos. Very helpful. Did you build your repair turntable?

Hi folks can tell me where to get those pots ? Thx

What do you charge for this service

Not cutting the dust cap has ZERO to do with unsecured surround. I've NEVER cut the dust cap & it's unnecessary

why not positive negative markers

Sad that you won't have the chance to hear them after the repairs . . . they have a degree of potential :-) IF angels come to your rescue and the DIF situation changes in your house and allows you to keep them, I'd highly recommend that you don't mess with them and see if you can send them back to SoundLab for a refurbish and an update on the transformers - they APPEAR as though they have seen better days and may be past their "due date" :-) Best of luck !!!

With veneer lifting along a split like that you can just use a little PVA glue like you did , put a piece of paper over it and iron over it. It will set immediately and be ready for finishing work.

Beautiful workmanship and skill. Thank you sir.

Texasound shows how a pro does it

thanks for the video...2 questions...1/ where do I get the blotter paper, never heard of it....2/ do you know if the vintage spendor sp100 has ferro fluid on both the tweeter and midrange drivers?

Will be refoaming & going thru a pristine pair here in next week. Some 4313bs right after that. Fun!!!

Hey Texasound, great vid on the 901 restoration. I'm doing it now.... series 1. Any chance you are near Austin? I'm in Cedar Park, but my real question is do you know where to get the most original looking fabric to reupholster the grills?

What is the benefit of reconing the woofer if the original surrounds are in good shape?

Why use foam surrounds,wouldn’t butyl rubber be longer lasting and better?

How much?

I have a velodyne dls5000r series that was making a scratchy noise and then just stopped working but still has power. It seems like a lot of people have this problem because I’ve seen a bunch of blogs with people saying so. Would you know what’s wrong and do you have a video on how to repair iit

What do you recommend to do with a old Celestion that has been over tightened and the basket is slightly deformed causing coil rub? Cheers

Thank you very much for this video I did some electronics repair years ago just picked up an equalizer and some speakers The Equalizer doesn't work. And this video is very helpful just wish I had the other videos

Show Bags - Over rated, Over priced and full of shit. The design of these is fundamentally flawed in so many ways, especially that stupid 'doughnut' foam. When it degrades and disintegrates it falls into the gap. KEF cheaped out using a pressed sheet metal basket on these woofers that perhaps need the coupling rod, and hence the need for that stupid inner foam.... so much for the F (foundry) in the KEF name, eh. I seriously question the replacement of electrolytic based on maintaining the 'original sound'. MKP are far superior in every way.

I got one of these about a year ago but mine has the more squared cabinet/baffle and looks a bit bigger. Someone re-foamed it sometime along its life and they did a pretty good job. The speaker sounds really nice. I wish I could find a mate to it but it would be by chance. Sounds great with my G.E. mono tube amp and mono records.

You are the “Don” of speaker repairs 👏 “Near enough for Government work” 😂

Don't unterstand not replace the old elkos with 160 or 250 Volt mkts!! No money.

💛👍👍👍

But great job, thanks!

How did you align the spiders?

Where are you store ? You will do my speaker too same speaker ?

Great information about ferrofluid tweeters!

A very nice restoration indeed

Really interesting job actually. Always liked the look of the 901

Thank you for the video. Where do you get the plastic shims?

👍👍🍺🍺

Thanks for the info. One question, what kind of glue you use to stick badges back to front face since original drys out. Thanks.
