Hi all.
In need of some help here.
I've recently inherited my late brother's old Hi-fi, which needs attention, but one step at a time.
First the problem is with the speakers. I've been trying to find info on Musical Fidelity MC4 Drive unit specs.
These were made in 1987 (Stamp inside the enclosure). He then had a Musical Fidelity A100 which didn't have any output protection and subsequently blew one channel and took one of the bass drivers along with it. He had it repaired but it was different from the other speaker. Not much different, but one of them used a black diaphragm/spider and the other is yellow.
I'm not too sure which was damaged as this was a long time ago. I'm presuming the newer one is the Black one.
Anyway, he hadn't been using his setup for some years, and with the smokey environment, the nicotine had attacked the rubber surround, and the cone on one of the drivers, and had started to crumble.
I cannot find any info on these. I have tried reaching out to Martin Collums of Hi-fi Critic, but nobody responded.
I have tried Musical Fidelity, someone did contact me, but they were at a loss, as Musical Fidelity had been taken over by someone else since then.
I've tried Wilmslow Audio, but they would only repair the surround and couldn't provide me with any details as to what these drivers were and what I could use as an alternative.
Does anyone have any info on the drivers or as to what I could use?
I'll be wanting to replace the Tweeters at some point too and upgrade the crossover components.
Google hasn't been much help at all.
I would like to get these big babies to sing again.
Many thanks and all the best!
Tony
