I have the Kalashnikov KS 12T. I bought a package that included hard case, 4 10 round magazines, the handle and muzzle pictured below. I didn't come with the 5 round mag shown. DaddyJT sent me a 20 round drum mag, too. It looks fierce, but getting it to feed properly took a few hundred rounds before break in. Not cheap. I also got an aftermarket gas chamber plug that helped tremendously. The plug came from Iron Curtain Customs Hmmm, this has little to do with cover songs, if you want to continue this discussion, we should head over, and possibly move this to The Gun Rack.

@Sk1Bum Love that video!! Funny you should load that video. I was just at Cabela's Hamburg PA store looking at Shotguns and hand guns for, lets say, "Home Vinyl Defense Weapon". Had some beautiful stuff.

@Sk1Bum @Receiver2000 And I could not stop at TajMo, I added Sonny Rollins/ Way Out West, Dexter Gordon/ Daddy Plays The Horn 180g, and Wayne Shorter/ Adam's Apple 180g. I did not want the album to travel alone. As they say, Safety in numbers!

Use the SEARCH feature of the site, or browse the forum for speakers (scroll down on home page)..., I'm not sure, but I am guessing someone had a project they documented and shared what glue they used for this purpose. One thing, if you pull the ribbons to get access to the solder connection, good. just don't disassemble the ribbon assembly. that will lead to disaster, as the magnets are under tension, and without the jig that @sea has, you'll never get them back together. good luck, and we LOVE pictures - post picks of your project, when you can, and that solder connection - others may be able to help more with pictures.

I found that the solder connection on the ribbon is open but the ribbon is okay. If I can resolder the connection it should/may work. I am moving slowly and carefully which is not my nature. I am trying to figure out how to access the end of the ribbon without damaging it. Anyone have any suggestions on what type of glue would be used for the fiber board surrounding the ribbon? The old glue has dried out.

Welcome, @danfree, glad you found TheCarverSite! You'll want to reach out to @sea, a member here, who does ribbon repair. Bob Carver has authorized and approved his technique and materials. Taking apart the ribbon is not a DIY task, it will never get put back together without the proper jig as the magnets will not position properly. Sorry to break it to you, but you will likely have to spend some money if you want to hear these in all their glory. Working, they sell in the $750+ range, fully restored with fully restored ribbons in both speakers, they can go for much more. But it takes investment. One thing you might do, is watch for a ribbon on Ebay, from a set that someone is parting out. Still, hang around here, and let us know what you do next. Glad you found us.

Just picked up a pair of Carver Amazing Platinum speakers at auction. One works. The other tests open across the ribbon. Im hoping it might be a repairable solder joint/break somewhere simple but before disassembling I thought I would seek guidance from someone who has done this before. Im not interested in investing any money. If the ribbon cant be fixed I will sell the set. First thing I would like to check are the connections to the PCB top and bottom. Is it as simple as loosening the bolts along the ribbon housing?
