jimjimbo Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I would pick the one with the least amount of dust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron167 Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 right hand side is the best , the left hand side is gotta be 50 years oldAnd believe it or not, the one on left still sounds good in my Klipschorns. I’m going to update one set of these. Leaning towards updating the right hand side set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I believe you hands down , when you keep on using parts they last -- you stop they deteriorate - -the right hand AA is 3 caps ---a 13uF , and two 2 uF the inductor on the top left must be checked in case the screw is magnetic , if it is , you must replace it with a non magnetic screw - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avguytx Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Or just build a new set from scratch. Worked well for my Belle inspired clones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the screws used during development and testing not magnetic? What is the significance of it being magnetic and why do they need replaced?

Thanks correct , the screws were messed up during production , they were meant to be non-magnetic -The AA tweeter circuit has a 245uH air core inductor with a non-magnetic screw , with a magnetic screw , the 245 uH bumps to 350 uH - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brass screw which it should have been would not change the coil value. A 304 SS screw will also work though they are very slightly magnetic also. Brass is best. There are a number of these out there and conjecture about why they were used. I have a B&K 885 meter and it clearly shows a different value depending on the screw metal. If I remember right the values Randy quoted are correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron167 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 RandyH000 and Dave A thanks for clarification. I suspected magnetic field causing something not to spec. I will replace with brass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron167 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 It's a good thing Klipsch OEM is the only correct solution vs "those other guys."I’m OK with it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Rebuild the older crusty set. Then when you are done you will have one decent pair of AAs and one pristine rebuilt pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Even though brass is not magnetic, it is an electrically conductive copper-zinc alloy. To exclude both, plastic screws are the best solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree, but apparently not the original design.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroMara Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 There are may different types and lenghts available, one should be the right and can be mounted after the X-overs are rebuild ...ymtc .... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
