UPDATE: I have been enjoying this ElectroVoice Regency(-ish) speaker for the past three years. I use it to listen to the radio (via my old Stromberg-Carlson set up) as well as the sound output from my desktop computer. The speaker works well for home theater speaker; it can fill the entire house...

Thank you all!!!

You can get the right foam for these midrange drivers from this company in the Netherlands: https://speakerrepairshop.nl/nl/luidsprekerranden-van-foam/overige-merken/foamrand-voor-elac-4em-101-middentoner/a-3036-10000028#.WKxuwlUrJhE I used the kit from these guys to re-foam my drivers a few...

You nailed it!

Oops! Sorry, I forgot to check back. Here's a new quote: "I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal."

I think that's the first Deadpool movie.

@noogies turn to post! Everybody else chill out.

All weekend I was rocking the Stromberg Carlson SR-402, listening to KALW.

I am at a meeting in southern France and the organizers put me up for the week in a cozy little cottage out in the woods. I know, I know; rough life, but I am bearing up well. Anyway, the cottage was built back in the 50's by a French family who later donated it to the conference center. On my...

Oooh! How about a picture of the Triad pre-amp?

If you are using a receiver with an old ferrite bar antenna, you can probably boost the signal dramatically by adding a cheap external antenna. I like the $15 Terk antennas from Amazon (no affiliation).

It's a classic! You did good.

I have a friend in Marin who has a pair of 901's and a Phase Linear 400 that he bought together back in the '70s. The speakers are on low tulip stands and the whole system sounds fantastic.

Ugh. Having re-foamed a set of 901 Series V's, I would not recommend buying a set with deteriorating surrounds.

...and the Tektronix oscilloscope.

Thanks! And you are right, the y-axis is parallel to the woofer axis. It is also the smallest dimension of the cabinet.

As soon as I get the time!

I feared that the man from Nantucket Had kicked the proverbial bucket. I am happy to learn That the limerick returns. Let us all vow never to chuck it!

PM sent!!

Hey guys (@Narodow and @swierczekml), do either of you still have a scan of the service manual for the Amber Control Center Preamp?

Yes! You are welcome any time.

Thanks for the ping! I haven't had time to do any more work on the C26, but I did get it a new friend to play with: an MR73 tuner. I know that a lot of people prefer the MR74, but these guys sound pretty great together.

I still love love love the HK730. As you say, it is easy to work on and it sounds great.

I think it is telling that the HK730 is the ONLY HK receiver to follow the IEC curve. The 630 and 930 both follow the standard RIAA curve. If I recall correctly, the HK730 came out around 1976, the year that IEC proposed their equalization curve. It seems like HK gave it one shot and then...
