More Lansing: rebuilding my first stereo pair (of necessity)

[orange]

For Rex Everything, as he sold me the parts...

You might recall that I blew two Jensen HF Specials and a channel of my Sansui G-5700 (maybe it's a fuse)...

Well after getting a Jensen out and hooking it up by itself I can vouch for them being ruined.

That was the main reason I decided to buy a pair of JBL Ti-35 tweeters and rebuild the Asynchronous R-100s, essentially Altec Model Three cabs and crossovers with Corona 10" woofers and the now lost Jensen tweeters. They sit in front of this desk, early three-terminal mismatched finsh KLH Model Sixes midway back on the room's edge. The Jensens were way better than the Altec rings that would've been in but for one failing.

At least two steps to surmount and those are the Ti-35 is a capsule with a large magnet much like the Altec 427 so the hole MUST be expanded to mount the tweeter. This would be the first modificaton to the cabinet ever.

Problem two is that the first crossover I checked out is a mess. I have it working some.

What order is the x-over? The x-over can't be to messed up. It is inductors and caps mostly. Can you get the specs?

How do you blow speakers?

If you want I can design you a set of speakers you will never want for another pair again. You can't just swap out stuff willy nilly. I have some poly caps here. I'll let you have I have speaker sealer rope here I think. I have the screws you will need. I have wire. 14 GA. Don't do any cutting yet.

You would owe me the rest of your life for this; but you will never want another pair of speakers trust me.

Plus I love doing it. I'd love to have another pair of speakers out there that I have some what done.

So don't go hog wild. Lets talk about this.

Not going to happen. They can't get there from here.

We had gangsters holed up with police just sitting there for hours, all seven police cars, with a MACHINE GUN and after the second time in a year I wasn't putting up with it anymore.

I fired up the 8-track player and CD player and cranked my OWN 'G'

Sansui G-5700

Plugged in the karaoke mike and spent 1/2 trying to drive the thugs out with Porter and Dolly, Carpenters and in the end Chris LeDoux. By that time my KTEL "Gold Rush '79 Part 1" cart was eaten and I took out the right channel taunting and singing.

The tweeters died, the woofers are Altec Corona and lived and the level pot is crunchy anyway.

The property owner is a forrmer city council member (did not run in November) and friend and she ASSURED ME it would not happen again.

If push comes to shove I have 886A? crossovers for now.

Don't worry, Larry, I have drawers full of speaker parts and the Jensens were small and had to be adapted...I have Jensen soft domes that fit as well but the Ti' works and would sound better if I could open the pot better. That Corona stil can't thump like a KLH Six

Those are the midddle speakers behind me.

I hated to do it but I think it worked and I got to sleep. I'm not fond of waking up to find nobody told me all hell broke loose and nobody cared that a ricochet in that 1/1/2006 driveby and when I startled up in the old locaton of my bed and I'd be DEAD so since I went to HIGH SCHOOL with half the force I found dementia symptoms could be setting in there.

That's just not right.


So I'll rebuild them andfix the Sansui I don't normally blow any speaker. I didn't have any Megadeth handy at the time either but that wouldn't annoy thugs.

I've tyoed to the point of no return on the form here. I should let Timothy Leary type but he's gone so it's just a trip ;

PS The crossover is stock Altec Model Three (not Series II)

Ti-35 is a JBL Titanium Dome. Ask Rex.

That control was messy before. It's a good thing the Deoxit D5 arrived.

Theoretically, I shouldn't be able to get away with anything but after 6 years I've had just two blown anything and the other was the NP capacitors in a rebuilt (seemingly just fine too) simple crossover rebuilding a Silvertone stereo companion speaker ca. 1960 (3rd speaker from an old Sears console) and what did it?

A Pioneer SX-525 at moderate volume. Just the caps. I guess 15 watts was too much

Oh well, I set it aside for another day. As I said before, all but the Stonehenge I towers are 'brewed in my house and they read nominally and behave when asked to work as designed, and that wasn't the case. I did that in the late summer and got around to them yesterday.

CS-A31 cabinets and grilles couldn't hurt, now that I have the entire electronics lineup, crossovers, mini horns, mids and PW-302__ woofers. I collected them offhand and then realized I had those.

No, I'm not proud of it, didn't set out to blow anything, kept me from calling the cops incompetant and I think it worked...
