If I hook each speaker up to an amp individually, maybe Denon hi-fi amp, and quietly play music, would any voice coil damage or rub be apparent?

Thank you! I actually did speak with the folks down at Parts Express-they recommended someone local to Dayton who used to handle many of their repairs, but has gone out on his own: http://www.speakerrepaircenter.com- I called him a couple times last week, but haven't heard from him yet. I also spoke...

OK- thank you so much. I'm sending Chris an e-mail now--- As far as checking the actual level of damage is concerned, would I just connect each speaker to an amp individually and listen? Or is it not always easy to tell by listening? Is it easy to pop off the back and look at the coil to see if they...

Well- I managed to finally get around to pulling all 4 speakers. The front of the Waldom cone looks surprisingly like the real Fanes. Unfortunately, two of the speakers seem to have some coil rub. Is Merren the best option for fixing the rub? Dr. Hi-Tone- is that something you have experience workin...

Thanks for the tip on merren! Will absolutely keep him in mind--- Also- i'm in the SW Ohio- do you know anyone who might be able you replace one of the terminal plates for me?? The metal plate that attaches to the frame of one of the speakers snapped- I guess I could epoxy it but I just don't have t...

Thanks- I am afraid to drive 'em too.

If something did blow (and you didn't have Dr. F's on hand), how'd you go about trying to re-cone these?

The cone also has the numbers 015 written in chalk.

Here's a close-up of the frame-

Here's a few pics of one of my 6441 mystery speaker cones.

I already posted this over at the Plexi Palace but figured I'd throw it out over here too! I pulled the trigger on a 4122 cab from '74... I got an OK deal on the cabinet, and I've been really excited to try my amp through these Fanes. It sounds fantastic, but I'm scratching my head as to what I have...

In fact- here go- this is billed as a 4123, but the speakers are odd. Plus, it's rear-loaded with black grill?

Totally a small world- what a trip! Do you guys know much about Fane 122785 speakers? I have seen some pop up in an old Carlsbro cab, and some WEM PA towers... there's a ton of Fane models out there, and I guess I'm barely beginning to scratch the surface outside of the standard few Hylight-era Hiwa...

No worries, it's good to get this stuff straight instead of wasting time chasing something that doesn't exist!
There's so many different permutations of Fane/Hiwatt cabs, many more than I've investigated, so I was hoping something would be a good fit.

Great- I'd love to head out on the 30th- thanks for the invite! Should I bring anything? I'll shoot you a PM! Awesome Also, as far as vintage Hiwatt cabs are concerned, is there anything floating around that can handle the heft of a 103? Are the black, front-ported later cabs at all worth looking in...

This all makes sense to me. I hate to pass up on the opportunity to land a cab that seems to be in nice shape, but I would've felt like a monster idiot to blow out the speakers. I actually live in Ohio- just about 20 minutes outside of Dayton. Are you in Southern Indiana somewhere? That's amazing! I...
