Salvage old mu metal shields

One question which comes up from time to time is how to shield speaker magnets in our beloved speakers so they don't mess up CRTs in HT systems.

I just had to retire a Sony monitor of 1987 vintage. It died from causes unknown and it did not seem worth the investment of repair.

However, I extracted the speakers.

They have a diaphragm measuring about 1 inch by 3 inches. No wonder TV audio is so improved by feed to even the most elementry stereo system.

However, I note these speakers have a shielded, round, magnet. I have not made any measured comparison, but the shields might be able to be adapted to a K-77 with the round magnet.

The overall thought is that we should be alert to salvaging mu metal shields from old TVs and adapting them to the Heritage series.

Maybe in times future there will be shielded "woofers" in consumer TVs which can be adapted to the K-55 series.
