 Tighten the screws, going from one position to the opposite like you were reinstalling a cylinder head. This will make you feel good.

Love it, Mika!

Sure Ray no problem.

I like those, Eugene! Would look great in a suitable environment.

good to know,  I am sure that if you sent the pictures to Keith or Lee again, they could re-instate them for us

Actually they are not that relevant - mine were apparently a very early pair, and the crossovers were constructed on chipboard. You're more likely to have real printed circuit boards, and the job will be much easier.

Anyway, here's the schematic from another thread - the left version is from the service manual, the right is what I had in my 60.2's. The bass & mid networks were identical with the manual version.

I agree.  Very nice indeed.  Thanks for the pics!

eugene,

very nice!

i have a pearly red avant + bl6000's. your cloth is darn near a perfect match!

i have some light pulls on one of the frets. might i ask you the source/part#/color of your red fabric?

thanks in advance,

No problem on the source. It was a "dress shop"/ cloth store.

The red material is something more or less used for sports jerseys and the like. Very transparent on the acoustic end. The charcoal black gray silvery stuff is liner material used as in between material on heavy fabrics. coats draperies etc.

When I went to the store with a sample of my old speaker cloth. The seamstresses that run the place knew exactly what I had and what I needed.

Got the red stuff for $1.92 a yard so I bought 2 yards. Enough to do two sets of redlines. The black liner material was a little more expensive. I thinks about 3 or 4 dollars a yard. It works, it is is transparent, stretches easily and in the case of the red material they offer other colors as well.

You could also try JoAnns if you have then down in the Carolina's.

Here are a few pics of the crosses out of my 60's and 60.2 which neither are the same as each other nor even like the one in Mika's photo. On the 60's I also had to install two Peerless passive radiators to replace the missing ABR's. That worked out well to.

Sorry for hogging up the page.

Hi Eugene

I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly have no complaints.

That ABR replacement looks a nice neat job, and it looks like that x-over has had some fun at some time...  that resistor has been HOT!

so you used two layers of fabric?  did you glue them down and were you able to retain the b and o text outline?  had you considered getting the kit off ebay?

I've followed your directions and opened the first of my RL 60.2.  However, the two larger speakers, although unscrewed, are 'stuck' on and I don't know how to pry them off.  There are no remaining visible screws so I wonder if it's possible they are glued in?   I'm also wondering if it is possible to upgrade any of the cones of this speaker and also which bits of the crossover to replace or upgrade, even if it looks all new.  It's amazing how clean the inside of this speaker is.  I can't believe it's over 30 years old...  Also, do you think using thicker wire for the connections is prudent?  maybe long copper like the DBS guys do
