KG 3.5 restoration tweeter confusion


Recommended Posts

I’ve scoured the forums for clarification, can’t find pertinent info.  If anything, I’m more confused.  Previously restored a set of KG 5.2s, replaced the metal domes with new Ti domes, there was no ferrofluid. The 3.5 domes are phenolic/kapton(?) with ferrofluid. I plan on upgrading these with Ti domes.  The question is do I leave the ferrofluid, clean out and use new ferrofluid, or clean out and leave it dry? If I leave it or clean and use new fluid, do I need to find an adhesive to seal it? There is currently no adhesive.  If I had to choose what to do right now, it’d be a roll of the dice.  TYIA

When I replaced the tweeter diaphragms on a few pairs of speakers, I was instructed to use a post-it note and drag it inside the thin channel where the ferrofluid is, doing this for a couple full “swipes” inside it.  That was it and I never had any issues.
