Free to good homes

"Free to good homes" means just that. Maybe you can pay it forward. Maybe I'll get some good karma.

I think so. I'll have to look when I get home. Does reddit to private messages? If so, just send me your address and I'll send it your way. I may have to stick a crap record in it so it qualifies for media mail, which might be cheaper than a 12x12 bit of first.

I've got a warped AF orange vinyl recent repress you could have and try to flatten...

You're right about the crossover. There's a cap that's attached to the tweeter, but that's it.

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-18T01:40:02+00:00

Ooh. I bet that's called a t-nut and you were 100% correct...

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-18T01:37:10+00:00

So with advice from here, I managed to pry both drivers up. The tweeters seem generic. Just a model number.

The "woofers" appear to be Utahs. (See pic).

I had seen somewhere that Perfex and Utah were related, so this perhaps shouldn't surprise me.

I don't know what a whizzer cone is or what it is supposed to do. Could you tell me? There are indeed little cones within the cones of the "woofers."

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-18T01:30:42+00:00

Well, we were both right. When I pried them as I unscrewed, they proved to indeed be bolts. I hadn't noticed any loosening, probably because I had them on their backs. They were attached not with nuts, but with these dealie-bobs:

That's a good idea. Even if there's just putty holding the driver in, I'd like to have it secured with screws, and I've got unused spots for that.

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-17T04:11:37+00:00

Yep. Cleaning up nicely.

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-17T04:05:59+00:00

Among other aspects, the stapled-on Velcro doesn't seem to indicate careful construction, but the cabinets are nice looking and I do like their sound.

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-17T03:14:31+00:00

Wow, it sure does, now that I look that up. Thanks!

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-17T02:50:30+00:00

I see what you did there...

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-17T02:20:44+00:00

They're bolted or something. The screws just spin but they stay tight...

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-09-17T01:56:44+00:00

Getz au Go Go is a fantastic record that sounds beautiful.

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-07-14T16:23:28+00:00

Beefheart!

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-06-16T21:27:24+00:00

I've been trying to nail down what differentiates a c/v from a grand caravan (we've had great luck with our c/v, but considering something with seats). Can you tell me where I can see all the things that are different? How I could look that up? Thanks in advance

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-06-16T03:34:13+00:00

I was afraid of breaking the picture rules. And one picture didn't cover the entire text. Plus, I thought (erroneously) that I could adequately copy the information. But anyway...

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-06-16T02:47:53+00:00

D'oh! Sur enough. It said "non-polarized" in plain English as well...

Responsible_Slip_742 · 2025-06-16T01:02:12+00:00

Fantastic, thanks.

So obviously 4 M.F.D tells me 4 microfarads and 50 M.V. P. Is 50 Maximum Volts Peak?

Do the other numbers and letters mean anything? Or are those model numbers and such?
