Is it legal to build up cheap speakers and sell it as a BOSE speaker because of few branded plastic sticked to them? I'm sure the price will go up a lot because he say its BOSE where it isn't. It's not hate, I just don't wanna be the person who buy this cheap shit thinking its BOSE one. And they will burn soon or sound quality won't let me to enjoy them as much as I expect and paid.
The second you remove the speaker coils you destroy the woofer, this is not a restoration buddy, this is simply repurposing an item, I have watched many of his videos, and I must say he is truly talented given the right parts he do a fine restoration 👌
Nice job! I have had a pair of Bose 301s since 1979 when I bought them at Macys on an American military base in the middle of the Pacific. Repaired them once when foam and diaphram started to decay, they are still my main speaker now!
I had a pair either from 78 or 79. They had the reflector that you can turn yourself. To this day I have no idea where they went. I currently have a pair of 601 which need replacement woofers. They used to be a store near me that sold them, They no longer carry them. I either need to find a recone kit or find someone to repair them for me
I'm sad for you.for this years😔 You used loud distorted music. I bet if you hear from another speaker you will fall in love again with music 😍 Try B&W😊 Bose are awful. They don't have crossover and depend on heavy e.q . That's why the unit between speakers and amp. It's an equaliser
As a professional sound installer I installed no end of these back in the day in restaurants, bars, kids clubs etc, and had no end of issues especially with the bass drivers burning out. After re-visiting a number of installations several times to replace the drivers with genuine Bose units we eventually opted for a cheaper generic driver and never had a moment's problem afterwards. I always thought they were overpriced and under-engineered, though they sounded sort of 'OK' when they worked. Venues only wanted to install them because of the badge on the front.
I don't agree with you, I believe you don't think about the durability time! I have a bose 3 acousmatic and they are no less than 27 years old, what equipment lasts all this time and costs little? You also didn't take into account the project costs to develop the product. Regarding the burning of the component, it was definitely a poorly applied volume!
@@sentrapeus "project costs to develop the product" Yeah must have been some serious engineering to design the crossover in those speakers. Sorry but Bose has a very bad reputation in professional audio (one of the worse).
@@sentrapeus ah yes, designing a tiny little cube that can handle power well, and then putting power through it to make it sound decent takes lots of R&D
It's a fast and cheap repair. He got two pot glue on the cone. He built very cheap enclosures, no double baffle. Then he slaps the old Bose plastic surrounds on and will sell them as Bose and not what they are - cheap standard enclosure with a cheap cone - not up to Bose standard (Bose used to be good...these days...not so much). This place is repairing and flipping broken electronics for a quick profit. There is absolutely no craftmanship in what he did.
I have nothing but Bose around my house........bought 901's and 501's during my Navy days overseas.......in the 70's. Now have added 301's (garage)..........201's surround in Lving.........and 101's I think ....indoor outdoor out on pool deck.....which rock by the way.....lol.................my 501's died and Bose said pay for shipping and they would replace them.......cost 84 bucks , but they are new!!!!
Wow just wow! what a transformation, you know your stuff my friend! looking at those woofers I wouldn't think they could be fixed like that! Fantastic job!
I'm impressed. Never thought about rebuilding the raw speakers. I've got in a lot of Bose stuff. Some I just save for later repair. I get free electronics from this place 3 times a week. Been thinking about building speaker cabinets of my own design and using some of the raw speakers.
You need to calibrate the coils, so nobody is able to do this any good. His way of repairing is the correct way, only you need to calibrate it with electronic tools, the green 1970 ish wave display machine electronic people uses in the old days.
This was a great restoration video. Bose are really great speakers-until you hear just about any other brand of speakers. (JBL and Energy, among others.)
Excelente trabalho, uma pena que aqui no Brasil é muito difícil encontrar pessoas competentes para fazer um trabalho deste. A Série 301 da Bose é uma obra prima em qualidade em reprodução.
Wow just amazing great job on the restoration. It's crazy how the old speakers used lightbulbs for over-current protection, such a simple yet smart way of doing it.
0:54 At this point, I'd toss the stamped steel speaker basket and the injection-molded ABS pieces into the respective recycling bins and sweep the particle-board crumbs into the garbage can. A pair of Bose 301 - IV sells for around $200, the value of your restoration is multiples of this amount.
I owned on pair of Bose speakers and I am glad I sold them months after I bought them. Its obvious they don't last long. I have Jamo, Klipsch and Boston Acoustics Speakers and after 20 years they are still in great shape.
J'adore Bose !! La barre de son de ma tv... Bose !! Mon enceinte portable... Bose, mon casque... Bose !!! Et même le son de ma voiture est équipé d'origine en Bose !!

Never cross your left hand over when feeding a saw of this type. Also wouldn't be a bad touch to paint some orange around the danger zone of that blade.
Very good job, good to see some one doing it the right way very awesome job looks like Factory ,,,,, YEAH NICE ,,,, keep up the great work MR ELECTRICITY YEAH AWESOME JOB AND CRAFTING SKILLS i AM NOW VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WORK WELL DONE,JUST LIKE FACTORY !!!!!!!!!
Love this channel. Don’t be surprised if Bose sees this and you get a letter. Their technology is proprietary and they get pissed when people start fucking with it. Atleast that’s what I’ve found.
Good video to learn about how these things were originally assembled. I picked up a pair of these used a few weeks back, in pristine shape. But today playing the Bob Ludwig-mastered first vinyl pressing of Led Zeppelin II revealed their biggest shortcoming--plastic in the build. I knew about the plastic, of course, but didn't know how this particular application of it would reveal its weakness. The record is "hot", with strong bass, and at moderate volume the plastic end pieces buzz with a nasty resonance. The tweeter and midrange speakers seem to be the only things that could buzz independently, as they're screwed/bolted into their plastic "carriers" or cages or whatever they're called. I may check that out and see if I can squelch the buzzing by wrenching them down, but I'm not optimistic. I know now why the three series of 301s prior to the series IV are viewed with more favor--much less plastic in the builds of those speakers, though I wouldn't say they're robustly engineered by any means. Even the subsequent series V model looks to have less plastic than the IV. At any rate, thanks for providing insight as to why these crappily-made speakers buzz the way they do.
While the craftsmanship surely is impressive the speakers are actually far from perfect. Sorry to spoil the oparty but as an ex audio pro i'm just thinking all the time: This is not an restoration. Actually *all* relevant parts have decayed (which BTW is a very poor statement for Bose build quality). This is an out-of-spec copy of an ancient mediocre quality Bose speaker that by accident uses 2 plastic enclosure parts that once were part of an original Bose 302. The Thiele-Small parameters of the reconed speakers certainly don't fit and the capacitors went out-of-spec over time. None of the original design parameters are met and if you measure the speakers or compare them to a factory spec original (which doesn't exist any more) nothing will fit. Nice content for a RUclips video but a waste of time and effort in the real world.
@@stefanguels ...glad to see it's not just me, but that is far from a 'restoration'. Can't imagine that these are now anything like the original-spec, and would venture to suggest that they are at best described as disingenuous, and at worst, counterfeit.
I would’ve thought there was no chance those speakers could be repaired. That was truly amazing.
Repaired is an understatement, rebuild. I wonder what remained from Bose, just the magnets and plastic cases.

They werent "repaired" 😁 These brand new speakers with a few original plastic parts. They probably sound better than 301's ever did.🤣

From Kwajalein base right?
Nice job keeping them out of a landfill, they have a nice room filling sound.
I'm sad for you.for this years😔
You used loud distorted music.
I bet if you hear from another speaker you will fall in love again with music 😍
Try B&W😊

sure. Bose, Sony, Shure, Seymour and Duncan etc, all famous brands are overpriced. You can get the Chinese knock-offs and they work well enough.

I like how Mr. Electricity uses the Weller gun instead of a pencil iron. Got me started using mine again.
Still using it. My dad bought this in mid 90’s and up today still working. Still sounds great. The bass is amazing.
Same here... Bought it in 98 and still using. Now thinking of restoring the cabinet.
LOL
Quá hay . Nhìn anh này còn trẻ mà giỏi quá
Very nice rebuild of those Bose 301's. They'll last forever, just a re-foam when needed. Pay no attention to the people who don't like Bose.
Wow just wow! what a transformation, you know your stuff my friend! looking at those woofers I wouldn't think they could be fixed like that! Fantastic job!
BOSE 시리즈중에는 301... 101 ..201 ...901등 국내에서 많이 인기좋은 명품인데 우퍼쪽고장은 엣지교환이나 재생해서 사용하는데 되도록이면 자연스런 원음 특성을 살리기 위해 수리이력없는 원품을 구해서 사용합니다...

Das nennt man Nachhaltigkeit, Respekt für den Aufwand.
This is more like rebuilding the speakers from scratch! Excellent job anyway. Bose would be proud of you.
Отличная работа. Хорошо смонтированное видео. Приятно посмотреть.
If you replace everything on the speaker with generic material except the steel and magnet, is it still Bose?
Bose Use Generic Material.. i see it, the generic Mat from Bose!! is a Mass Production
Now that was impressive! I forgot how good the Old Bose Logo and the 301 looked. Great job!
Правильные руки растущие из правильного места! Прекрасная работа!
You are the boss; good job 👍👏

Bose do have an unfair reputation that they’re good. Don’t quite know how they managed that, great marketing.

@@marcodandrea4086 EV (Electro Voice) comes to mind. Fred
This is truly Handsome and an experienced restoration. I take my hat off to him. My respects!!!
good work👌👌😘
Aw that’s nothin that new boxes, cones, voice coils, dust caps, wires, capacitors, and grille cloth can’t fix good as new.
Think of the millions saved by re-using those little plastic end caps and the speaker baskets.
Would sound be like the new one?

parabéns lindo trabalho vc fez ficou muito ótimo a caixa de som eu gostei muito seu canal RUclips Deus te abençoe.
To restore is to make same again. The type of wood Bose use for those bookshelf is unique. This was something else. Good attempt!
They used particle board. Cheap garbage.
This comment shows your ignorance.
Superb restoration they look like they came out the factory excellent 👍
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
Great video awesome music great manufacturing skills
I owned on pair of Bose speakers and I am glad I sold them months after I bought them. Its obvious they don't last long. I have Jamo, Klipsch and Boston Acoustics Speakers and after 20 years they are still in great shape.
Your skills and talents are most impressive
Had these same speakers a few years back amazing sound and great quality speakers.
Amazing job
lol
Replaced the stock woofer in my 301s with vintage altec Lansing drivers, made a huge improvement.
Any woofer would improve that speaker.
Hate the speakers...love your work👍
What I appreciate most on your videos. There’s no added fluff. See a speaker that’s FUBAR do what’s needed to get it done.
Excellent work...BOSE is legend...
No Highs!...No Lows!....It *MUST* be *BOSE* !!! Cheap Components, Epic Marketing!!!

Voice coil soldiering too poor
You could make ASMR with many of these sounds. Especially the fast-forward moments sounds are calming.
I love Bose! Have had two cars with Bose stereos and they sounded great
Another beautiful restoration! Great job greetings from the 🇺🇸
Suppar suppar wonderful
wow , amazing transformation . so good .
"продам, не бит не крашен, в оригинальном корпусе"))
Another Cool video. Thank you
Excellent job done
Wow, I remember these from the 70’s.
very nice job
Very nice Job you did there.
I mean no sholdering of wire, sticking things on rusty metal surface... you are a legend of restoration community 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never cross your left hand over when feeding a saw of this type. Also wouldn't be a bad touch to paint some orange around the danger zone of that blade.
Amazing job! I wish I knew how to to do all of that!
The connections were not soldered.
That's pretty hard to watch.
This was a joy to watch!
