Title: Old Speaker Maintenance/Care
Post by: roguetel on May 26, 2011, 08:22:13 pm
Any tips for a new juke box owner on speaker maintenance, and what I mean by that is basically making the old dried paper back to kind of moist or however to describe it.

Basically just trying to bring some life into this really dried out speaker paper/ and circular outside part before it separates from the tunes jamming.

I don't think there is a quick remedy.   Most speaker restore services talk about replacement and rebuilding. It is probably like skin, once it gets old and dry there is not much you can do with it to restore elasticity.

Yea I guess as I researched the thought I found posts where people said if your speakers were sitting around to put into a box with silica pellets or the do not eat moisture absorbers for a week or so to make them dry. ANd that would make them sound better...
