Dual 604 - Antiresonator - again

[gmonstah]

Sorry-but I need to repeat an old topic.

I have a Dual 604 where the felt pat has fallen off in the anti-resonator has fallen off.

There are plenty of pictures available of what broken units look like. Even a few pics of best guesses about how to put it together. These pics and posts show more than one idea about how this is held together.

Does anyone have a lead on how this should look before it falls apart. First hand knowledge or a pic of the actual item.

Thanks in advance.

There's some info on the 604 weight near the bottom of this page that may be of some help:

Thank you, Tourmax,

I had already seen that post. Other posts have a different opinion on how the pad should be mounted. Hence my quandary and desire to hear from someone that has seen one of these before it fell apart.

Of course if anybody has a lead on a replacement weight, that would be fine also.

When I repaired mine, I did it like the drawing in that post. (I used cork instead of foam but I attached it the same way.)

It worked perfectly. As long as the foam, (or whatever you use) isn't wider than the flat spring, getting it back together isn't too bad. I had some difficulty at first but it was because the cork pad I used was wider than the spring. Once I corrected that, everything went back together just fine.

I would feel confident in tackling this repair again, now that I know how it works. The drawing in that linked thread really has everything you need to know.

Good luck!
