Conclusion
This is a speaker of it's time. It was never designed to be serviced:
- The cabinets/drivers/pcbs are all glued.
- Internal wires are 'birdsnest' wired
- Insulation tape is used to join internal twisted cables.
- Fibreglass is used to internal dampen the cabinets.
The reason one of the speakers had failed was a dry joint on the main driver and a faulty internal cable and a degraded capacitor.
The only way to access the crossover is to cut the back panel out of the speaker and then re-glue when done - so not a very satisfying or elegant repair.
It was also very time consuming repair - so not really economically viable.
My recommendation: Spend your money on a new pair and enjoy the memories....
