[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 89698, member: 272"] Re: Speaker repair/rebuild questions I've been all over the web and no forums or mailing list come close to the quality of suggestions and the overall "signal to noise ratio" of this forum and that "other one" we all came from. I'll at least ask here for a sound gearhead subject even if it's slightly off topic. -For one reason my head really starts to hurt when over at DIYaudio.com and this one helps restore me afterwords :-) Can you believe that searching for field-coil actually brings up forum posts and articles by audiophiles attempting to build their own in that quest for the ultimate "high end"? They are also the types that pull the back off old alnico comp drivers, turn them around and attach that to a horn -[I]with no phase plug! [/I]and think that sounds truer and more accurate? I'm of the opinion that the loudspeaker industry over the last 80 years has strived for bettering themselves yet they never have gone back to field-coils so there must be a reason for that. I'm only interested for the sake of historical reasons and the fact that we've restored every other aspect of the cars, why not the original radio too. (And since then have discovered the radios were aftermarket by motorola and not original to the car anyways) Still interesting though, exploring 6VDC-powered mobile tube electronics. [/QUOTE]
