I have tried the other method using thin strips of card inserted into the coil to centre the core without much, if any, success....my thinking was that speaker manufacturers wouldn't use bits of card to do this so there had to be a better way.

moving swiftly on the custom made Jig can be mounted and the upper screws tightened on the ferrite magnet to hold it securely, centred roughly in the middle with the lower set of screws resting on the top of the magnet, then turning everything upside down and viewing the core position through the dust cap aperture the lower screws can be adjusted to centre the core within the coil, this can take 10mins or so as it involves adjusting a screw and its opposite screw to effect the balance.

I will leave this to set hard, checking that the cone continues to move freely all the time, then run a bead of the metal epoxy glue around the entire circumference of both magnet and rear plate to provide additional strength for future knocks. Following the above trauma the coil still gives a resistance reading just below 4 ohms.....
So much memories back…

The metal epoxy has turned out a little lumpy, which in other applications may be a problem....not with this one however. Dust cap back on with some Aleene's tacky glue, useful if in the unlikely case it has to be removed again. Ready to be dispatched back home!

Hello Craig, You helped me in the past with the above repair post regarding my Beovox S45-2 woofer. I still have them and they sound great. Would you be interested or recommend someone in repairing my 4 woofers from my Beolab 6000. I have already posted on here but no luck so far
