Hi all, 

  has the novelty worn off?  I have struggled to reply to any topic as there is nothing new to chat about!

I believe so - apparently nobody finds any problems any more!

EDIT: I even started to live dangerously, and didn't copy before posting... and it worked

Sorry - late for the party or not attending at all, as usual.

I've no idea what we're going to talk about once the forum works perfectly..  Should we start a few threads about that Bangy & Olson stuff, or whatever it's called..

It's a bit quiet on the old forum as well.  I hope it's just the time of the year although I don't post very much 'cos I'm fed up with trying to post and getting told that the forum is not available.

Don't worry about it Keith open the whisky, that usually solves all my probs immeadiately, however they do return later so its maybe not such a good idea!!

Even though I am here infrequently due to my lack of spare time, I find little material to talk about. Except this new topic at hand... LOL

Beo4 'til I die!

I've still got plenty of projects on the go! I've got a Beogram 6000Quad almost finished and just started a Beogram 4002 among others.

There is a nice pair of M70's that need  refurb and/or a good home!!

I just finished a Dark Side project - refoamed my wife's boss's Boston Acoustic T1030s.  Four eight inch polypropylene woofers.  Piece of cake. 

My first experience with refoaming polypropylene cones.  SO MUCH easier, quicker, and cleaner than paper cones.

I use this.  I used this adhesive spray first on my S45-2s about 19 months ago.  No sign of a loss of adhesion as yet.  I've since used it on three more pairs of speakers to fine results.

EDIT

Full procedure more or less documented in here.

Thank you Rich, cant get Elmers down here, but found some 3M super 77, description more or less like Elmers.

And yes I remember your Hurricane frets, and the birth of the FS on the forum, who can ever forget itDevil

As an owner of vintage B&O, You should know it by now: NEVER use DB tape Stick out tongue  Wink  Just think of all the glass panels that has fallen off The 3500/4500 systems and BC 9x00 series. Not to mention the aluminum plates on the Beograms 6000/8000 series.

It is pretty quiet here... But I can't say I'm too active. 

Too long to list....
