I hear you a big fan of spandex Abe ? !

Heard the same thing. Apparently he dresses up like Spiderman for those occasions when the egg timer is broken

Thanks Dewald it makes sense that the voice coils may have come loose and for the rest, you are quite right.

I will probably have to remove the cloth to get to the voice coils and then see what is required. Have mailed a guy in the States who used to work for Magneplanar to try and get a schematic and more information.

I suspect there will be plenty dedicated Maggie forums with tips on how to refurb panels.
Crimpolene (spelling?) gets my vote for easy to work with grille cloth material.
Someone I once knew completely rebuilt a pair of Maggies with braced metal frames getting rid of all floppy flimsy tendencies. Guess what?
Wasted effort and material....no real change.
The C versions had little loopy things on the feet to allow a little tilt adjustment. This was worthwhile...

LOL @ FD. I recently got my mom onto MSN. She is now spinning the emoticons like a pro.

I think FD has outdone even me!

I would love to post some pics, but I can't upload here and all the "photo" websites are blocked by Websense!

I pulled the sock on one of the speakers up a bit and found the cause of the low frequency vibration. Some of the mid/bass planar wires are not attached to the planar(membrane). This sounds more serious than it really is, but its not as the wires are not corroded or broken. I need to find out what type of glue I can use to attach the wires without causing damage to the planar.

Otherwise it would be very easy to restore the speakers as the panel sits in a wooden frame similiar to a pictue frame and can be replaced. The same applies to the socks as well as they just "pull over" from the top and is stapled at the bottom.

I think I will mail the pics to Skinny and ask him to make it available.

Told ya so... Try using one of Pratleys flexable epoxys to fix the loose "voice-coil" wires.

Oh goodie!

Dewald are those epoxys non-corrosive?
