You're going to re-do the xo's of your speaker?
Sorry guys. I thought someone would recognize the old sansui xo board and offer condolences to the latest victim lured in by pretty lattice work and walnut veneer only to suffer muddy sound for my curiosity.
All kidding aside, for $11 for the pair I could hardly go wrong. The entertainment value alone is worth it.
The SP-200 xo pictured in the previous post is out of one speaker who's selector switch was so gummed up it did not function and no sound was coming from the tweeters. Cleaning the switch properly fixed it and the sound is much improved but still very muddy.
Searching in other posts revealed that most seem to get good to excellent results rebuilding/recapping the crossover.
Any help with a parts list and where to shop would be greatly appreciated.
My next question is are the surrounds on the woofers supposed to be concave or have the dried and shrank over the years? And while the cones on the woofers move freely (no scraping) they are very stiff. I'm guessing this may also contribute to less then crisp sound.
Can the driver's surrounds be replaced? Would a rubber or foam surround be okay or is a fabric surround required?
Lots of questions I know but thanks to all for your help with my first resto/rescue project. :thmbsp:

Outstanding idea! My wife's hair dryer and a very small canister vacuum cleaner have rescued many a pushed in tweeter or mid speaker cone.
Thank you!
