jw80 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I recently picked up a pair of Hersey Industrial H1s. One of the woofers (K-42E) is dead. Anyone out there have one they are looking to part with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 They should be the same specs. Some might suggest buying the pair and selling the single good one you have. Or... using the two you buy and keeping the one you ready have as a spare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman1 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I bought a pair years ago..thought one of the woofers was shot also. Turned out that ginormous magnet had shifted and had the woofer frozen up. You can carefully cut the dust cover off and look to see if that has happened to yours also. If it is you can use a dead blow hammer and shims to get it back where it should be then super glue the magnet back to the basket. It’s a little tedious to get it properly aligned.

I pulled the dust cap off and don't see anything that looks off. Everything moves freely. What exactly should I look for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are the same but according to this thread you can buy them new from Eminence: https://www.parts-express.com/Eminence-Delta-Pro-12A-12-Cast-Frame-Driver-290-510?quantity=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok if it’s moving freely then it wouldn’t be the magnet shifting that’s causing the problem. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I found that the wires between the connections and the voicecoil are missing. The seller said he'd had it tested and it was bad, but this is a pretty glaring issue. I have no idea why these would be gone, but I soldered in new wires for testing and it works. I am still working on refinishing the cabinets, so I don't have everything together for testing, but this was the issue. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
