After much deliberation, I picked up some Bose 601 series 2's at a yard sale for 50 bucks. Of course a refoam, and very dirty. Been sitting awhile, screw heads rusty, and may have to rewire, as front left and rear tweeter on both speakers don't work (put leads directly to them, they do. Like I said, been somewhere relatively humid)
I noticed one of those glass thermistor things was blown. I contacted Bose, they are trying to sell me a fuse kit with holder. I don't think this is the part I need, got tired of arguing with them.
Anyone know what this thing is? Digikey/Parts express have something that would work?
And should I recap? These have mexican poly's, and wasn't sure of life cycle of those. Resistors are unglued from the body of the crossover, so I'll need to reattach, but should these be replaced?
I planned to fix up and sell, but after the ugly refoam I'm not sure anyone would buy. I made the mistake of gluing on the edge of the foam topside per instructions, and I know it's a good thing to do, but glue came out a little clumpy and to a potential buyer, they might find it a little unprofessional. Not too ugly, more like some of the drivers I see on older vintage stuff.
Missing a foot as well. Anyone have one laying about?
Any advice on this rebuild would be appreciated. If I keep, they'll probably end up on the porch where I can hear it while I garden in the summer. With that wide sweet spot, figure they'd be perfect.
