Guest ed Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 Dear Fellow Diyers, Where can I buy the black glue for speaker repair? And for those who have experience do I recycle the coil if the issues is with coil rubbing with the side wall of the speaker? Are there shops selling the braided wire to the cone? The one I have gotten looks thick compare to the existing. Thanks for any help. Besides Martin and Tai Cheong is there any hidden guru that can do a decent job for a token? Stay safe! jlow
synthesis1624705793 Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 I bought T7000 black glue from Ebay but it could be available from SL Tower, maybe. But then I also used UHU glue and contact glue for rubber and spider. If the rubbing is not too bad probably it still works ok. Few repairs I did were limited to rejoining corroded wire behind the cone (mainly Scanspeak) and couple of surround replacement. I never disassembled voice coil from the cone. I think that will require higher precision to put back.
wizardofoz Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 For the braid try something like a broken apple lightning or mouse usb cable shield just pullout the internal wires and then remove the braided sleeve from the outer sheath and see if that’s flexible enoug

Sounds like something workable.
Guest ed Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Solder wick will work. (Audio) Nice one there. I actually have a 24 or 16 strands braided but it is twice as thick as the original used. Trying to make sure that I do not impair the cone movement. Trying to salvage the original as much as I could. If it hadn't been a scratchy cone I wouldn't have bother. Finding the right parts is a pain. jlow
synthesis1624705793 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Is the coil still working/not completely rubbed and broken? Maybe just need to take out the spider and the rubber surround then try to realign and reglue

Guest ed Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Seriously if it is 20 yrs ago I would. But right now I have really bad eyesight would stay away from anything requiring eye power jlow

Cracking... jlow
