Restoration now on 2 pair Beovox white RL7000's which has cosmetic issues.
Refoaming drivers, new cloths, new caps (expensive ones and ordinary ones, Martin is going to help to do my comparison on those two pairs ) white surrounds of the cabinets needs attention and cleaning.
All 4 cabinets are dismantled.
Going to start with the woofers first. Tomorrow finish of the foam surrounds.
Woofers finished, stands painted and surrounds with the silver stripe cleaned.
Now waiting for the "expensive" caps ordered and still need to make a picture (for Martin) of the cross-over boards with the original caps. Unfortunately I already removed the old caps but I have another pair RL7000 where this picture can be made of. I'm very curious what the sound result will be comparing one pair with the "expensive" and the ones of Martin.
Next thing will be reclothing the speaker frets.
By the way, I've bought a Jun Air compressor (Danish brand?) for my paint work :-) This one doesn't make any noise so that's a good thing for my neighbors...
Hopefully I'll finish my RL7000's next week.
In between some sanding and polishing work to do on one of my WB10 Beosystem 10 wallbracket.
Let's continue my RL7000 restoration...
Next filterboards to be recapped. One pair with Martins caps and the other with "expensive caps".
Got another pair RL7000's with the original caps. When finished I will do a hearing test what the result will be.
Excellent tutorial!
Thanks guys! Every spare time is spend on B&O restoration as much as I'm capable to do that. Must say that a lot of things has been learned from this community.
Today I received Martin's caps (got them for free as a test, thanks Martin, much appreciated). I can finish both pairs now and do my listening test hopefully this weekend. The weather is great but after work there's not much time left to work in the garden. Getting dark quite early.
Next week or the week after I need to go on a business trip to Norway to a place called Stord (company name Kvaerner. Any of you members who lives in that area?
No one from Norway for a meet and greet in Stord area?
Received straps and put RED LINE 7000 text on it.
Speakers almost finished. Have to make a speaker selector switch to compare all 4 sets regarding caps on cross-over boards (old, new, cheap and expensive ones).
Leslie, if you are available next week, I am definitely your man to do the blind test between both set of speakers ;)
That could be interesting !
