Thanks a lot for the kind offer Jesper, but the deed is done, no turning back now :happy1:
I was downtown, and passed a hobby shop, that was just like fate.
Too early to say something serious about the sound yet, but i have a feeling initially, that they are a bit "rounder" :confused:, if that term says anything. Still nice, but maybe a tad nicer now.

And Your'e right about the "closeness", it's Hyrdevej here.

All the best

I believe i read somewhere, that the voicecoil was VERY close to the dustcap/whizzer, with the risk of cutting the coil by accident...

That only applies to the FE126/127 (and maybe only the older ones with the much squarer corners on the magnet cover)

Thanks alot for the heads-up, I take it, that i have to find a real scalpel, and not rely on what we, at least in DK, call a "hobby knife".

Hobby knife is another name. The one i use is similar to the top one pictured (and the shape of the blade i find works best). Make sure the blade is fresh.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Yes, i found out, that there was no risk of harming the voice coil, it was "far away" from the dustcap.
The knife in the bottom of this picture was the one i found, and just for the fun of it, i'm showing the one we call a "hobby knife" here, the red one.
Well, as i told Jesper (Lykkedk), the surgery is done, and i have a hard time defining the difference, (my ears are about the same age as my memory, hehe), but i feel happier with the sound, and really don't want to think i'm just imagining things.:D

Thanks a lot for Your mental support guys, i needed that.

All the best
Ebbe
