DWGooch Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hi everyone, I recently got a pair of La Scala Industrial separates that sound fantastic! Great deal, but they need some TLC... Heard a slight rattle coming from the doghouse on one of them, so I opened it up to investigate. Seems like the spider has come unglued from the basket on the woofer . Pictured below. There's one on eBay now for a decent price, but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone had one they would sell me. I'm also considering some of the replacement woofers recommended elsewhere on the site, but would prefer to keep it closer to original and match the mate. Thanks!

DWGooch Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Also - I have considered a DIY re-glue with CA based on attempted fixes I've read about in other threads. It seems like a pain in the neck to get to for a clean glue up, and it is separated almost all the way around the circumference of the spider. If anyone has had success with this, please let me know.

DWGooch Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Thanks RandyH ! I've read that people have used cyanoacrylate glues, like Loctite 426. My concern is that it seems difficult to get any sort of applicator down into the space where the outside of the spider meets the metal of the basket. Since replacement is probably the route I'll take eventually anyhow, I'll probably give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for the information for another poster in this thread, unless you have heard the K43 vs the K33 in an LSI split configuration, and understand how it integrates with the other drivers in that specific configuration, then the spread of misinformation regarding this is not appropriate.

DWGooch Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Jim, PM sent. Since I’m going to end up using these for events, I’d like the power handling capabilities of the K43. We’ll see what happens though, I’m not totally opposed to the idea of swapping to a K33 if my glue job doesn’t take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a pair of Choruses years back and one woofer (k-48) had a "popping" sound at volume so I took it to my local re-cone shop. He looked at it pushed the cone in and out and noticed the spider had come loose due to the voice-coil lead wires being too short long story short he pulled out a little bottle of glue and glued it back together charged me $6 and told me to bring it back if I had any more problems with it-- my friend has those speakers today probably 10 years later now and they still work great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
