  3. WTB speaker and grills for Allison CD6

    in For sale / Wanted

    Posted

    Here you go for the grills:

    As to the woofers, are they in that bad a shape or is it just the surrounds? Where are you located. There's someone in NJ who replaces surrounds as well as PA. If you're handy, you can replace them yourself.

     

  4. Allison AL-110/115 tweeter question

    Thanks, Bill. I would certainly prefer original tweeters. No sign of corrosion...maybe was just a dud. Hopefully can get a return/replace. . BTW, what is “NOS”? Another thought... I have a few Allison tweeters in various states of functionality. Is it possible for someone skilled to restore working units from various cannibalized parts? For instance, can sound paper cones be removed from dead coils to fix other units?

     

     

    Thanks, Bill. I’m awaiting a response from the seller. We’ll see!

    Are there any recommendations for non-Allison replacement tweeters? I’m considering something as a stop gap, until I can get the real thing. I found these... any thoughts?

    From the Allison Yahoo group:
     
    We have a tech outside Boston who has successfully restored tweeters whose only fault was their wiring.
     
    The cost if he is successful is $35 ea + return s/h.
     
    To get them to him, pack them v v v v carefully (cardboard cutout collars, lots bubblewrap etc) and pack and ship to 
     

  8. Rectilinear S38

    There is a speaker identified as a Rectilinear s38 on NY CL. At least that is what is on the card stapled to the back of the speakers. It looks authentic. Anybody know or have an opinion about these speakers?

  11. Allison AL-110/115 tweeter question

    in Allison

    Posted

    The AL 115s are older. Bellingham, MA was one of the locations of the company when Roy Allison owned the company which was before 1994. He sold it in the early 90s. By 1998 the company was in Kentucky. They sold factory direct which is why you were able to order a "hybrid." Are there any marks on the backs of the tweeters that might indicate the system for which the tweeter was intended? Maybe the tweeter in the AL 115 was not the original but replacement from another Allison speaker system

    I belong to the Yahoo Allison Group and they have indicated that it is not a good idea to put a tweeter from a three-way system into a two-way system due to differences in frequency range and the cooling material used. Maybe a former owner of the AL 115s swapped out the tweeter.

     

  12. AL 120's with one mid-range blown

    in Allison

    Posted

    I just got a pair of these AL 120's and the guy told me up-front that one mid-range was blown.

    I checked the allisonacoustics.com site and they show the tweeter and woofer but not the midrange for the 120's ? I'm assuming that the midrange they are showing won't work, since they don't specifically list the 120.

    So.... do 120's come up on Ebay at all? I mean do I hang out for year waiting to cannibalize another pair or does anyone have any useful suggestions.

    Thanks.

    AL 120s do not have a midrange speaker they have a tweeter and two woofers inversely mounted. It considered a 2.5 way speaker as the crossover points allow one woofer to act as a mid/woofer. Thee is a brochure explaining this on this website.

    So you may want a 6 inch woofer not an allison midrange speaker.

    good luck,

    Brian
