davidro Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 G'day allI'm getting a pair of Original Large Advent Speakers.I haven't got them yet. But they look like this:The description said: For sale is a pair of (1970's) original 2-way Advent speakers in walnut cabinets. The woofer foam surrounds need replacing (foam kits approx. $25) but otherwise the speakers work fine. The cabinets have light scratches & one of the speaker covers is broken.Now what do I need to know? I have restored a pair of AR-3a before thanks to you people. Pretty much the same? What caps do I need to get?I've done a little search here and it's kinda confusing with all that crossover revisions and inductors etc.Advices sought with gratitude!

davidro Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Ok here are some details I got for me:For replacing foams - this eBay stuff that's the cheapest I can get (incl postage to Australia).(x2) 8.2 uf (400 vdc) Jantzen audio crosscaps (metallised polypropylene) - couldn't find 8 uf...is this big deal?(x2) 15 + 1 uf (400 vdc) Jantzen audio crosscaps (metallised polypropylene).DeOxit the switch inside the cabinet?Wonder what to do what to do about the grilles though. The replacements are like $100 shipped to Australia.Any suggestions/advices? Am I better off replacing the inductors or something? Don't even know what they are!Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
