I have a box of around 12 of these in the boot of my car, which is going
to the local dump this morning.
They all have O/C coils.


** 90% of those can be fixed, long as they are the kind with white plugs.

Normally, the hair fine wire breaks just were it is soldered to the pin -
mostly only one but I have seen both. You need strong light, close up
glasses, a fine tipped iron and a steady hand - plus a strand of tin
plated hook up wire.

Want more ?


I've kept them over the last 5 years or so, in the vain hope I will get
round to mending them, but have now decided enough is enough and they are
going, along with another ten tons of broken power amps, powered speakers,
all kinds of ****e that I am never going to get round to fixing, or I
would have done it long ago.

** I seem to collect modules from powered speakers that defy all attempt at
repair.

BTW:

If you can get the magnets off the back of 12 inch speakers, the fames make
dandy pot plant stands.

I've also a whole load of blown valve amp transformers that I have kept for,
er, I have no f**king idea why, apart from the fact that new ones cost lots
of money.

Any use for these in the home or garden?

Gareth.
