What adhesive to use on B&O speaker crossover

[wbrobertson]

Greetings from Alabama to all,

New to the forum & would appreciate some help. I recently purchased a set of B&O s45 speakers, which sound amazing. When moving the speakers during unpacking and testing, I was hearing a clunking sound from the bottom of one speaker, which sounded like something was loose. After removing the woofer I found the culprit on the crossover board. Forgive my ignorance as I'm unfamiliar with the nomenclature, but one of these 'things' on the board--see photo attached where it is circled--with wire wrapped around had broken loose of its ~40 year old glue.

I'm wanting to reaffix the it to the crossover board, but not knowing what it is, I'm unsure of what kind of adhesive to use for this. I'm guessing something good for electronics & vibrations but I'm completely in the dark as to what would be best.

Would very much appreciate help in identifying the 'thing,' and some advice on what kind of adhesive to use to reattach it.

Thanks!

that inductor can be glued down with hot melt glue or if you can get around the board, a tie wrap will work.

Welcome to AK.

+1 for hot melt. It’s durable, removable, holds well, non-conductive, and the chemistry doesn’t change over time. It’s just not beautiful (at least mine aren’t).

I didn't even think about a tie wrap. Thanks for the suggestion!

Stick around AK. There are so many good people with great ideas. I always learn something.

FYI, you need to keep that inductor in the same orientation. Do not lay it on its side or move it otherwise.
