only place I see it for sale is on ebay and the seller has 50 neg & 86 neutral feedbacks in the last 12 months...and they don't ship to Spain? do you know a good place in the UK that ships to Spain?
Hi!! I would like to rebuild the crossovers of my Ditton 33s. Could you share the schematic of what you built with Visaton capacitors and resistors and tell me where I can find these capacitors and resistors? Thank you!
I'm not an engineer I just want to fix up a couple of pairs of my old British speakers but would a straight forward (DIGITAL MULTIMETER VOLTMETER OHMMETER AMMETER MULTI TESTER METER PROFESSIONAL UK) cheapo Chinese job from flea bay be OK. Love your work find it fascinating.
As a retired Audio Engineer who was involved in audio and speaker design, I always enjoy watching your speaker restoration videos. As I still get equipment to service/repair and often the rubber surrounds on drive units can stiffen up due to age. What chemical do you use on the rubber surrounds? Is it isopropyl alcohol or something more specialised?
Hi Mark. Thanks for watching 😃. I use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning and then condition the rubber with Carbusonic rubber conditioner. I helps keep the suspension supple and helps reduce cracking. Hope that helps 🙏
I looked up online for the Carbusonic rubber conditioner...they don't ship to Spain😮...I could really use some for my Spendor S100...can you tell me a place I can order from that will ship to Spain?
Do you have any 33 crossovers for sale? I saw a FB post that looked like you had a store online somewhere. Desperately is need of some but I'm in the States. Thanks for all the great videos.
@@artcornthwaite5753 I don't I'm afraid. I probably had a load of crossover rebuilds on FaceBook but stopped using it a while ago. I can build you a pair from scratch. Email me. info@haycrossaudio.co.uk
i see you soldered the wires to the speakers...did you solder to the crossover push pin connectors?... how much difference is there if soldered vs pushed on? ...can you hear the difference?
the sound of these Ditton 33 seem to be very sweet...would you say they sound better than the Ditton 44 or 66?...I also like your friend Ditton works RUclips channel...he must have liked the Dittons so much that he named his channel Ditton Works✌️
He used to work for Celestion. Kevin is a great guy. We talk regularly. The 33 is a good speaker. These turned out well. The 44 and 66 are far superior though in pretty much all aspects. The 22 us a favourite to.
The cleaning fluid is isopropyl alcohol. The rubber conditioner is Carbusonic reviver conditioner

Hi Matt, what cleaning fluids are you using for the cones and surrounds? Thanks.

@@haycrossaudio5474 Thanks, I've seen it now.

@@haycrossaudio5474 email sent, thanks for the fast response.
so many questions...what liquid are you using to clean the speaker units? alcohol ?
Isopropyl alcohol
i see you soldered the wires to the speakers...did you solder to the crossover push pin connectors?...
how much difference is there if soldered vs pushed on? ...can you hear the difference?
A cleaner signal path directly soldering the wires rather than push fit connections. Push fit connectors can work loose and also oxidise
@@haycrossaudio5474
I used some detoxit on my push pin connections...can you hear the difference when soldered?
@@briancampbell7712 I think so. Depends on how resolving you equipment is etc

Are they for sale? Thanks
Unfortunately not. Client job
Lovely job 👍
what is the name and brand of the rubber retorer that you use and what is your thought of using Dot 4 brake fluid as I read others using?
🤣 You just asked me that on another video lol. See my comment below
@@haycrossaudio5474
knowing how busy you get...thought I'd have a better chance for your response...🤣Also can you answer my question below this😁
Do you not tin the wire that goes off to the drivers etc, prior to fitting in the board?
I tin them before I solder to the drivers but not in this case prior to soldering to the tracks. No point. Do it in one go
What do you use to clean the rubber surrounds

Top man, I bet they sound well.
Amazing work !! my compliments but what do you use to clean the edges of the cones ??

@@haycrossaudio5474 grazie tante vai così che sei forte !!
Hi Matt. An other enjoyable video, as always. What quality of internal wires do you use?
Thanks for watching! Wiring is 16AWG or 1.5mm QED OFC singles. Works a treat. Easy to use
