Fostex 126en phase plug needed

[Joca]

Hi.

My little daughter just made a predictable thing...fingers on the dust caps. i've tried everything but with no results. Where can i find a phase plug for it? Or maybe someone can tell me how to do one.

Thank you

We discontinued ohase plugs for these as sales were slow — the only reason to use them is a dustcap damaged beyond recovery.

Have you seen this: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/planet-10-hifi/181603-fe12x-dustcap-fix.html

I have attached the plans for the ones we used to do, and a 3D print file done by a client.

Than you very much. I think i will try the phase plugs. my dust caps are in bad condition.

i think that i can remove the dust cap with a xacto but need advice to glue the phase plug. is there any guide out there?

Thanks

Use a pair of steel screws to the bottom of the plug and the polepiece will hold them in place (it is a strong magnet). These leaves the plugs removable & adjustable.

There are some pictorals of dust-cap removal here: planet_10 hifi. RS 40-1197 is closest to FE126.

Just modeled and printed two of these today on our big Fortus FDM 3D printer. Dumped some acetone on them and sanded smooth. Thanks again Dave.

Just painted them a grayish-blue to match the EnABL.

Finished them this morning. Very easy to do.
