No. Not enuff information on the drawing to build it.

Too bad - I have a pair here and they are by far the best cabs I have EVER heard for the FE208 range. I just can't find the rest of the drawings!! Aaahhrggg!!

I have the Nagaoka books (red, blue and green) here but Ithink this construction came later than these books.

You could take one for the team and cut one in half to find the measurements

I think there may be quite enough information. Several of the missing measurements probably can be figured out from the others and a few probably can be measured from the ones he has in real life. You may need to find a small child or long armed adult to reach in and measure part #8, and it may be hard to determine the spacing between #11 and #12 for example, but I bet a little math and you will have it.

Yes, with that it can probably be reversed... from the info available, and if the drawing is to scale, the rest could be gotten pretty close. I did this with the EdHorn and came very close to getting the not possible to reach parts right.

If someone else does not chime in with the rest of the drawings, I may be able to help at a somewhat later stage. I have a little program called "Tile Print" which lets me rescale pictures/drawings and pick rescaled measurements from them.
I can also make a full scale printout and measure manually from there...
No time until late next week, at earliest, though....
make a list of part no's that are uncertain....

EDIT:
THis thingie seems to have a slot or notch up top/front.....? Vent slot or notch for a tweeter...??
- Whereabouts in Norge are you...???

I have the drawing / info archived. It was for one of the home market 208's could have been the 208SS.

You will need a "real" 208 series speaker to make that cabinet work, your typical 208 sigma or whatever will not be able to drive the enclosure.

It predates the books from Madisound.

I will take a look for it.

You need a special program to do that? I'd just drop the raster file into the CAD software, scale it to fit into a box the size of the extents and then use that as a drawing template.

But since Andrew has the drawings i'll hold off.

I deeply appreciate it! I happen to have pairs of FE206ES-R, FE208SS and the FE208ES-R, and all of them give stellar performances in this cabinet. Haven't tried the latest ed. of FE208EZ, but there is a pair around here somewhere so why not try. Likewise, I have a few pairs of the fabled Coral Beta8 in new condition, would be interesting to see if this driver also fits in... like the 208ES-R this driver sports a huge powerful Alnico motor and is incredibly fast and detailed
