Thanks for the suggestions. But the reason I want to use a vintage table is I want to match the grain / color and patina of the existing speaker. New veneer would not work unless I did both enclosures and that's above my pay-grade! I really dig the aged vibe of this enclosure. My main...

I recently found the speaker of my dreams! I'm really into the aesthetic look of speakers. Problem is that there is only one speaker and the probability of finding a mate is one in a billion. So my question to all speaker builders / woodworkers is... Can I build a similar enclosure out of...

We're talking about gluing an ABS plastic type grill (JBL called the material APP) to a plastic frame. There is no cloth involved. The trick is to use a glue that will not squeeze out of the holes in the grill. This is what I found on L.H. site: "Remove the front part of the grill from the...

Thank you all. I thought that was the issue. However, they make that sound when mounted inside the enclosure. Not as noticeable - but I can still hear it. I guess the real issue is that the volume at which the distortion starts is not that loud. At softer levels the speakers sound great but...

Hello - I have a pair of Goodman's Maximus 2's that have double 4 1/2" woofers. They sound great at low volume but turn it up too much and i get a horrible sound with heavy drum beats or bass slaps. Spider looks intact. Am I asking too much from this little woofer, or is something else going...

I just sprayed the dome. I cut a circle out of a thick piece of paper to cover the face and very lightly misted the dome until fully covered. BTW - the dome was a yellow 8 ohm Chinese phenolic aftermarket and the paint adhered really well. It measured the same as the original and I can't hear...

I have researched a lot of different aluminum spray paint for 066's. This is the one that matched best for me. The one on left is original - on the right is sprayed with Weicon.

My wife likes to photograph cats - So she named him Whiskey. As in "another shot of Whiskey".

A400 's got it!

Silvernutsaq - For the record, I have visited D&S nearly everyday for the last 5 years. It is my evening relaxation to read about scores and good deals. But I constantly think the same thing that you proposed. I just looked at page 2 of D&S and found 20 of the 26 threads were from KiM3Ce. I...

I installed the DGJWOJO lamp longevity kit in my Denon POA1500 - but am having issues. Install of resistors, transistors and lamps went smoothly and 1st set of three lamps lights up nice and bright but the second set of lamps are only lighting at maybe half power. Anyone have an idea of how to...

WillDo - Yes, I agree schematic does show 28V 40mA for all 10 bulbs. However, there is an upgrade path that eliminates premature bulb failure as out lined in this post from AK User dodog - Denon POA-1500, Fixing Premature Lamp Failures. It involves swapping out 2 transistors and 2 resistors...

I bought the lamp longevity kit from DGWOJO. I am a total beginner of all things electronic. I can kind of trace a schematic but really can’t read it too well. I have a DMM but not sure how to use it to test components but I thought this shouldn’t be too hard. I can solder at the basic level...

Actually had a couple MW6600x's - but they were sold a few months back.

After going on a hoarding (gathering) spree a while back - ended up with over 60 pairs of decent speakers. Quite a few needed refoamed but I just sat on them. Finally got off my keister and got to work. There's a few more not shown and did a few mids and tweeters too. Took about a week of...

Regarding your "missing" inductor - it depends on the woofer. The 122A used an inductor. When JBL later went with the 122A-1, it need to have the upper range filtered a bit. Hence the inductor. See this post where member 4343 straightened me out...

I have a set of KLH-3's. Attached is a shot of the wall wart which I believe to be original. I also have a brochure and operating instructions but nowhere are the power supply specs given. Good Luck - great little speakers!

Thanks all. Yes I am partial to #2 as well and am hoping it's not just because of the great graining - it really is popping. I thought I wanted a tinge of red in my finish but the Gunstock stain wasn't quite it for me. Maybe I should try to add just a bit of stain to the Danish? I really do...

Polling is a great idea - I couldn't find a way to change/edit the post to make it a poll. sorry

A while back I picked up a pair of AR3a’s in nice condition but needed to be refinished. This being my 1st attempt at a full sand down – I wanted to make sure I knew how different finish products would look. I took a beater pair of CS-88 cabinets and pulled them apart to experiment. Each...

Thanks Birchoak. Hope replacement will go easy. Gadget - Really weird about that 3113 network schematic you posted. I just put a comment in the Lansing Legacy section about how I believe that is actually for the 4313B - just a different revision as it shows 4 caps and my x-over has 5. Plus...

I finally refoamed and hooked up my JBL 4313's (non B version) but I am getting no signal to one LE111A woofer. It ohms out OK and plays fine if I switch it to the other enclosure so I believe the issue is somewhere in the x-over. So I have two questions: 1. Would a bad cap actually cause NO...

Wanted to add results of my hours of research to this old post. I am looking to recap a set of JBL 4313 (non B). Between AK & the Lansing site - all references to the crossover for this speaker (network 3113) show 4 caps. Even the jblproservice site shows the network 3113 with only 4 caps...

My name is Brian and I am a speaker horder (I prefer gatherer). Lots of my collection were acquired needing re-surrounded. No problem - I can do that easily in my spare time. Well 2 years later and all along purchasing my Rick Cobb surrounds - I finally got around to tackling a huge project...
