    Could anyone ID the source of this idler wobble?

    Hi, all, I've read a number of posts on hardened rubber and flat spots, but not so much on a possibly warped idler wheel. It could be a flat spot, I guess, but I hate to start sanding if that's not the problem. Could the rubber be flattened, maybe with heat? Significant wow and flutter...

    Why did Vintage SEAS Rubber Surrounds Hold Up Fine For Over Lifetime?

    Something that I was curious about, is the Rubber Surrounds used on Seas drivers. Used on the 1960s Beovox Line, and Dynaco Line of Speakers aswell.

    Woofer Surround Cleaning

    This is a closeup picture of one of my HPM-100's woofer surround. This is the rubber part that attaches the cloth surround to the aluminum cast frame. As you can see, there is this white patchy substance (only on one woofer) that does not wipe off easily. Any suggestions how I might remove...
