Vandersteen 2ce crossover repair

[chriso1]

I'm trying to repair the crossovers in a pair of Vandersteen 2ce's. I'm trouble identifying the value of the resistor in the attached crossover photo. Does anyone have a working crossover for these speakers that they could look at and let me know what the resistor value is? Any help would be appreciated.

Of course I'll be replacing the capacitor. 2ceCrossover4.jpg

Have you tried contacting Vandersteen to see whether or not they will provide you with the information you need? They used to be helpful in the past, can't say whether this is still true or not..

I'd be a bit concerned about the driver connected to those components as well..

I talked to Mr Vandersteen, he didn't sound too happy that I had removed the crossovers. I asked about just sending the crossover in for repair and he said they would need the entire speaker and that I needed to put the crossover back like it was before they would work on it.

From that I didn't get the impression they were interested in helping me out with a DIY repair.

likely 10 ohms (but could be 1 or 100), a common value for a zobel on an 8 ohm speaker... have you traced out the circuit?

haven't traced out the circuit yet, that is my next step, thanks for the info

Someone on the Audiokarma forum posted a nice picture of the crossover, but they are doing some kind of maintenance at the moment, so I can't look at it

I thought it was interesting that Mr. Vandersteen was angry about you looking at the crossover, so I've made this panel in his honor. That will have to tide you over until audiokarma comes back up.
