I get suspect when I see a "tape deck" maker offering electrostatic speakers. I have worked with every maker of electrostat speakers in the US since the late 70's and tell me please how many are still around! They are finicky, large, room and amp sensitive, and expensive. And speakers no...

May but will certainly increase the bass! What about Jerry and the pacemakers though!

Maybe we can put a new Alnico magnet in you to keep you going!

Well the only prob there is that you can alter the Q of the driver and change it's impedance curve etc which affects the crossover and so on but the experimentation was fun. Dead field today with all hand-held audio devices and lack of interest in box speakers.

Not to worry, Lt. Bob. Everyone helps everyone here at least I need all the help I can get!!! On very large drivers many dust caps are an open weave for venting. Since large drivers do not produce high frequencies, the dust cap is merely there to keep dust out, and since a good deal of heat is...

That "center piece" is called a dust cap. It does just that-keeps dust out of the voice coil but it's also important for upper midrange and some high frequencies to the reproduction limit of the driver. Vacuum cleaners do the job.

Not correct. Acoustic suspension is the process by which drivers with very low Q's are supported within a cabinet environment by the air pressure within (sealed cabinet). So if there is a leak in the cabinet you have lost the "suspension" that has been designed in to control the Q.

If it were a loose driver then important to know why, because if the units are acoustic suspension system then it was leaking!

Meridian was a well-respected brand for a while. The "buzzing" you are hearing is a damaged voice coil. You could get the driver re-coned, and a new voice can be installed. You need a very good reconer, however. I would recommend you do the same driver in both units, and check all the...

Now here's a thought with NuFinish. If I wax one of my vehicles with it would I be able to play my "tapes" as I drive??? Or should I stick with CD's?

I have not the slightest idea. I was given two rolls of it by a retired recording engineer in So Cal. He said he cut a section and doubled it over the tape as it ran FF and Rev. All I know. You want a sample to try?

I have a material made by Scotch that was designed specifically to clean oxides from tape. Might do better than pads. Anyone recognize this material? Take a look. Nice going, Lance. I think you also discovered the world is not flat. You can allways tell the pioneers by the arrows in their...

Now this is a great point I had not considered. We need a chemist. Any chemists here?

All new theories are great and need to be proven. Just remember what scientists thought about Einstein's theory at first! NuFinish does not post a contact e-mail! So not able to verify what's up with their product.

I looked at NuFinish. There is no wax in it and thus I have assume there are no cleaners or abrasives either. I believe it is a polymer finish only. So I doubt there is any abrasive quality to it. I did not read the part about "no plastics" as Cory stated because I was not concerned about...

Have you tried this on any other Ampex tape versions since this experiment?

If there is an actual "theft" that comes under criminal jurisdictions;that is not civil. Remember that most AG's and DA's are understaffed/underfunded right now and do not want to deal with what they would consider a trivial matter. Give some specifics and good advice may follow. As to...

That would be helpful to understand what the "theft" is and then to provide some legal options you may have.

Could the relay you replaced be feeding another of those relays you have not yet replaced and which may be misbehaving and continuing the play problem you are experiencing?

Can you indicate anything about the "theft" so that the legal aspects can be evaluated?
