You have saved the amplifier and speakers, Well worth the trouble. I've never had speakers with posts on, even the realistic ones from tandys/radio shack had the hole and button to push clamping type. My old realistic speakers have foam surround death, they are old, even the diamond grill foam just fell to bits. I still miss tandys for all the parts i needed.
excellent video Jordan, I have a question though, if you were to re-cap the crossover on this speaker what capacitors would you use? I have the same speakers, one has bad caps and I can't seem to find any info anywhere, I'd appreciate your help. thanks
The films sold under the Dayton brand through parts express are good for the money. You may need to affix them to the board with silicone sealer as they're larger than the originals If you want same quality as original just buy generic non polarized electrolytic capacitors. Unless your hearing is really good I don't think you'll notice the difference
It will trigger the protection... If you have such luxury, haha! It will blow your output transistors or transformer. Very strange design flaw. Why does a passive speaker have a grounded metal plate?
I have no idea. Later pioneer speakers had plastic or Masonite as the input board where the crossover sat. I'm thinking this problem was known early on, but ignored

Brings back memories, I had a Pioneer 1000tw amp with Pioneer 99 speakers bought in Japan back in 1970. Both are gone now.
I'll check mine out. Thx for the heads up. Haven't had and protection yet but no sense leaving it
I'm curious about your choices. I have "vintage" JBLs and KEFs.
Where were you, I yard saled a pair of those because they were a headache. Oh well the guy that bought em was happy.

@@JordanPier thanks Jordan I appreciate it. I already ordered some Audyn caps, they have excellent reviews and I think they will get the job done
I have that speak. Can you give an amazon link
Isn't that glue also the type that becomes conductive over time?
Yes, It can be.
Did you recap with film caps? Switches? Keep the conent coming please.
These were garbage speakers and they pass frequency tests. Owner was only concerned about them not blowing up the amp, which I already serviced
Cleaned the switches too ...
Just try to clockwise screw the terminals tightly, and then the problem might be solved in such an easy way.
what brand of binding post used?
Generic ones i got from parts express
does anyone know what the 2 white knobs do on the back in this video? is it volume knobs?
Midrange and tweeter level control
I have those, but mine are OK. I bought them new in 1974.
Great video. Stay cool!
The audio makes you sound like someone completely different!
