Rodolpk6 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Hello from the south of France, I had a pair of 1995 klipschorns for 2 years, which spent 10 years in Guyana in high humidity. The cases are unfortunately made of medium and not plywood. The previous owner covered all the insides with 7mm thick tar. Now they weigh about 100 kg each, but this has bent the top horizontal part. There is a sag of about 5mm in the middle, not visible to the naked eye. I would like to try and straighten it by putting a jack in the middle. I'll post some photos as soon as I start the repair.

My system is composed and dedicated to streaming only and I'm waiting for a new Aqua linq hqplayer Core to replace the small Swiss Streamer Emerson digital.

Tarheel TJ Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Beautiful home and system. Good luck with your repair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodolpk6 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Merci Tarheel, My klipschorns are on a glued parquet floor, should we put some elements (rubber, various feet between them and the floor). I couldn't find any info on the site. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the 3 cross braces under the top panel plus the 2 rear vertical support struts. Yours should have those at least. Yes, it is okay to add another vertical strut if exposure to humidity has caused any sag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodolpk6 Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Merci Khornukopia Yes, that's what I'm planning to do, but I think the tar plates glued inside plus the moisture content has bent the plate and the spacers. A medium sheet will bend if you only paint it on one side, so a heavy glued thing is worse I'm thinking of changing the bent spacers to metal ones. But screwing in 2 cm of medium to straighten it is not easy... It certainly wouldn't have happened with plywood like before.

OO1 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 @Rodolpk6how about you send us a picture of the actual damage , if the damage is visible , you can use steam to straighten the MDF with a pressure point , once it's straight , let it dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
