    Help: TEAC 35-2B

    Hi all, I’m hoping someone out there can help me. I’m on the lookout for some parts for my Teac 35-2B. At some point in its life, the 4T head was removed, along with its holder. This deck has a somewhat unique head mounting system. By any chance, does anyone have a parts machine or know where...

    RTR HPR-12 Speakers

    I want to do complete re-cone of the 12" woofers in my old RTR speakers. Can anyone tell me who actually made the speaker itself? It has a square magnet on back, but no identifying numbers. They have three speaker coils leads allowing them to be hooked up as 8 ohm or 4 ohm. And/or is there...

    So what do I do with these speakers?

    I’ve got some RTR EXP-12’s I’ve been using for a while and I’m looking to go through them and change stuff up. The woofers aren’t original (shame), they’ve got a QTS of 0.33 and are JBL LC S1200w woofers. I’m a little sad they aren’t the original Alnicos with a 2” VC but oh well. They’re car...

    Did I potentially do damage?

    Hi there, long story short, I’ve got a Yamaha RS 202 and I’m using it with 70s midfi speakers (RTR EXP-12 8 ohm and an advent prodigy I 6 ohm, 4 ohm minimum). the other day, I hooked up both. I played them a little loud, not pushing it too hard, about 80 on the amp volume. The amps apparently...

    RTR EXP-12 tweeter L pad resonating

    Hey guys, I recently bought some RTR EXP-12 speakers. They’ve been sounding great so far. When I try to push em a little louder, the L pad on the back starts resonating on certain bass notes (which happens on a number of techno LP’s I play). It’s not a huge problem, as they’re loud enough even...
