So replacing the capacitors in the crossovers does make a difference then. Worth thinking about for any future speaker restorations I do. So do we get any pics Chris?

Craig🙂

Nice one Chris, but where are all the photographs?
Next time I'm on the wrong side of the Pennines, you'll have to give me a crash course on soldering😕

Andy T.

Sorry guys.

Andy has already done a photo series on speaker refoaming which I really couldn't add anything to. I didn't think anyone would be particularly interested in seeing some capacitors on a crossover, I mean it's not exactly entertainment is it?

I'll certainly post some photo's of the finished article if you want?

Andy, no prob's just make sure you bring the beer😕

Chris.

I'm looking for a pair in white.

Would you like sell them or do you want a white 6000 system without speakers fixed by Dillen?

Will do John🙂

Chris.

Well as seeing as I was asked I have a couple of pictures of the crossovers before & after recapping. Just thought I ought to add that these need gluing to the PCB as well as soldering (obviously), I imagine it is to stop metal fatigue due to vibration during playing so they don't fall off half way through Guns N' Roses rendition of Vivaldis Four Seasons........

The easiest way of removing the old capacitors is to snip the wires and remove the capacitor body first, this stops the old capacitor body acting as a heat sink and makes removing the wire ends very easy. I actually used a solder sucker for this which I wouldn't normally use on a delicate PCB but the solder points on these are very robust so it didn't concern me at all.

Here's a before picture.
