Online shop for ribbons

[dahlberg]

So I have been doing this for a while now and I thought that I might just as
well set up shop. In doing so I figured I should ask potential customers before
hand what I should keep "on the shelf". So if you have nothing better to do, I
would appreciate specs for what you might order in the future.

There are a few examples at the store already, some might be around and
some might be replaced. There is always a possibility to order "custom ribbons"
but if it's on "on the shelf" it will ship the next day from order.
Custom orders will usually ship within a week or two.

what are these? for?

It might make sense tracking down the dimensions of the ribbon Tony Moore used in his Ambience ribbon speakers. There are lots of these speakers world wide that will likely need repair at some point. Tony has retired so spares will not be available. The ribbons are approximately 1200x25mm, five leaf.

Thanks Cowan, I have actually never seen this speaker before but I will try to find out what
dimensions the ribbons have. Seems that they use Kapton as a carrier. That's doable even if I
usually end up with Mylar.

Edit: I guess you are ok with this info as well John.

The kapton is not full width, it is four narrow strips.

Do you have any plans or complete kits for a functioning speaker?

I have accumulated some steel and magnets over the years so there might a few ribbon
drivers for sale at some point. At least one set will be built to get some material for an
updated version of "The long neodymium ribbon" article.
I have some health issues to deal with this spring so it will not be in the near future though.
