Tannoy 3134 DC ZM-induced purchase, service and repair

just for giggles

year or so ago, friend asked if I can check one driver of his Kensington GR spks, problem was faint rubbing of bass driver VC, clearly present when SPL is low

what I did is usual thing - un-glue of spider, remove bolts fixing magnet to basket and inspecting everything
after that (no burrs, no foreign particles, just shoddy centering work), reassembly

Driver A ready for assembly again after hours of sanding and painting basket top and plastic ring. Looking OK, compared to what I originally bought:

got info from pinkfishmedia:

"Tannoy 33mm Tulip uses APGS15N
Tannoy 25mm Tulip uses APGS14"

so, we know at least first part of info is OK, so why not second part too :rofl:

anyway, to have at least some reference, when you replace FF in gap , place tweeter assembly in place, then pull it out and put aside
take a picture of VC gap so we can see how much of FF is visible in gap

no need for chasing substitute - if you have some info regarding availability of APGS15N , share that

edit: just to confirm - you got tweet assembly through Lockwood? how much greenies it was ?
