KungFuNat Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 what exactly does "rebuilding the tweeters" mean? did you just get new tweeters, or is this a different tweeter all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matching Mole Posted June 4, 2005 Author Share Posted June 4, 2005 "Rebuilding the tweeters" really means replacing the diaphraghms. After 28-odd years, the thin copper leads on the diaphragms in the tweeters became frail, and two of them broke, making one of the tweeters nonfunctional. So I bought new diaphraghms from Bob Crites, followed his online directions, removed and disassembled the tweeters, soldered in new diaphraghms, put them back in the Cornwalls, and grinned in amazement at the new high frequencies coming out. Easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did 3/4" ply on the back and 1-1/2" X 1-1/2" steel angle across the motor board. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmjrt Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Any pics on the back bracing? I was just wondering about specifics since I'm mod shopping for what to do to my Corns. You know how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 The woofer tear can be kept from spreading with a couple coats of clear fingernail polish. Nice job on the mods and posts, but looks like a TON of rope caulk. I did my 400's recently with two layers (one longitudinal, one radially) and took about 3.5 boxes per. Did you put small slab of caulk on the tweeter sides as well? Very informative posts and good pix, thanks! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Matching Mole Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 I'm glad my post and pictures are helping you folks out. I'm just trying to give a little back to the forum. Thanks for the tip about the fingernail polish. No, I didn't put any caulk on the tweeters. It's a good idea, though. Next time I have the cabinets open I'll do it.

mike stehr Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Alene's fabric glue works well for tears. It stays flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Matching Mole Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 OK, I'll bite. What is that woofer? Details, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
