Everything that close together makes me nervous. Maybe the pictures just rendered funny?

The chassis looks very cramped. Where's Marvin with the kaboom?

Well the new BLDC motor pretty much drops in. The capstan is off the other non papst ROK motor I have and fits a 5/16ths-ish shaft. I had to ream it out a little to get it to 8mm for the new motor. The speed dials in and I can't hear flutter or anything weird like that. Motor noise is lower than...

Bloody clankers! That link will probably give you a virus.

Start a swear jar 401k, it'll beat the market ever time!

Now the million dollar question is do I build cabs for these (<7cu ft) or do I make more substantial open baffles? Either way I'm keeping these drivers. These existing "enclosures" are 1/2" ply and will eventually turn into bananas under the weight of these drivers. They have enormous ferrite...

Further away better, subwoofer reactivated for 60 hz and below

Fixes mostly work i think.....still got some VC rub in the "repaired" one. I may delete that dust cover spider. Anyways these show promise, the compression drivers on these are wayyy better than the 807s in those other cabs, tangerine FTW. Outstanding imaging, scary real vocals. And yes those...

As seen in the other thread I picked up a pair of Altec 604-8Ks. Decent and working but with cone damage on one of em. Was badly repaired with RTV silly-cone. I got some artist brushes, diluted Elmer's glue, and scotch tape and it seemed to work. That goofy spider dust cover under the horn is...

I know I read the threads about this on TH wayyyy back in 2010. Some good pancakes from a major manufacturer found and loaded by Larry. That's all I remember cuz I've slept a few times since then. Larry was originally a TH member and he presented this project there, and then he made this forum...

A cassette tape that rose like a Phoenix from the ashes....... Or you go to Phoenix, AZ burst into flames and turn into ashes.....

BLDC motor ordered, gonna be here in a week or two. I'm gonna also play with the plinth a little in the mean time. This will be a fun experiment

Necro-bump! I still have the Rek, thinking about ditching the Papst motor in itfor an Ebay BLDC motor that might have less vibration and hopefully can be tuned to spin at 1800 RPM. This guy should just fit in place of the original motor...

Welcome! My step mom is in Boise and my sister is somewhere near Idaho Falls. I recently did a bit of work on my WM-D3 (seen in the what are you ding today thread). I'm looking forward to seeing some of your cassette deck work.

BAAAAAKED.....

Last of the great Pioneer gear before they went all to Bee Pee Cee. I swear the restyled logo cursed them. And post more anime tiddies!

That's a great movie!

I have one but didn't use it long. It still works as far as I know. I might use it in my truck, or I might not if its gonna shit the bed..... You might see if you can score a MiniDSP 4x10HD or see if parts express will warranty that sucker.....

Wacky Video Album time!

My WP phono preamp is the one on the top of the tape deck in the full width rackmount case and has one button to turn it on and off. That thing with the knobs is the Esoteric Sounds Re-Equalizer for 78 records
