Celestion HF2000 pushed in domes

[canuckaudiog]

Does anyone have any experience with fixing Celestion HF2000 tweeters with pushed in domes? It's the plastic piece that covers the tweeter.

Ouch... what happened? :tears:

Generic suggestions that may work are LIGHT vacuum pulling, or also masking tape and pulling out...

It's the Celestions, not the IMF's thankfully. I'm thinking of trying sticky tack, but a vacuum might not be a bad idea.

With out a pic it's hard to figure what you are referring to on the tweeter.
The black screen covering the acetate dome?
If so the screen should be removed to check for damage or impingement of the dome.

I have Celestions with metal dome tweeters that were pushed in.
I disassembled them and pushed them out from the inside. The metal domes where all crinkled so I just smoothed them out with a small ball shaped object.
For your consideration - YMMV.

It's the plastic dome underneath the metal one.

If it's bad enough you need to de-solder the wires and remove the diapragm from the magnet body. This involves carefully dislodging the diaphragm, which is attached by way of sticky double sided tape, and hopefully be able to reform the dome from the inside out.

This place might be able to help. How did the domes get pushed in ?
