Nice drivers Cal unlike others ones that where around when Tito and Cicciolina use to grace our BW tely things.

Yess I like to natter on what can one do at work while waiting for breack down?

Won't catch me doing that tomorow as it is my music apreciation day.

SHE out baby sitting me home with new P9 to try out

PS please do not tell her about P9 .......
 
Adding to the "natter"

It's a really rare photo to see any room treatment with horn drivers systems (or any other speakers, for that matter), in particular those horns with wide angled distribution -
I don't have the room for horns these days but still use Schroeder & Skyline Diffusers, (plus some Absorbers & Traps) to enhance the room acoustics (simple way to get better results)

I wonder why this area of our systems is "so ignored"?
 
Ya, sometimes when I see the work I do, I'm absolutely beside myself.

AHHHhahhha hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Cal Weldon!!!!!! yayayayayy!!!

witty solution for driver holder ;)

whatever , that thingy I made is conical adapter , from 16 to 25.4mm

it was surprise for me when I discovered that guys from yore Iskra ( former Yu , now Slovenia ) , which made 95% of movie theater gear in former Yu , were mounting Goodmans driver directly to their 811B knock off , without proper adapter

there is just mounting one , similar to yours - threaded to flange , but without any necessary conical part

even if I know from literature that some Iskra VoT combos were made with Altec 1" , I never stumbled on one - always Goodmans T52A

so , I'm having two pairs of that cute little driver ; it's phenolic 'phragm is having so sweet tone ....

Aloe drink, mmm...

I remember my first experience with it. Years ago, a lady offered me some and I guess I was paying more attention to her than those little worm like pieces in my drink. Well needless to say, I made quite a mess of her blouse, much to her chagrin. It was all I could do to redeem myself by helping her dry off.


Should have wiped the grease off your hands first Cal!
 
thinking about buying a heap of cheap vacuum capacitors off ebay and using them in series for a coupling cap(s)........................

just thought I'd share.

not a mad scientist moment at all..

I wonder what 0.0006uF (600pF) of capacitance sounds like.

and now its time for bed.
