    SPEAKER DILEMMA

    I finished up the mechanical aspects of the SDA’s last night and listened to some music. Everything works and sounds great. Thanks to @Daddyjtand @BarryG for furnishing some parts. I really do appreciate it and I am excited to see what these really sound like with better placement.

    SPEAKER DILEMMA

    Today was a Polk rebuild day in the workshop/soundroom. Polk's are really a different kind of speaker. Totally different than any speaker I have tore into. Drivers are different and I am thinking that the speaker is divided into to 2 totally different kinds of circuits. One side is wired in series and the other side, in the same cabinet, is wired in parallel. 🤦‍♂️ Weird. But I guess that is what makes Polks so unique. Also I discovered tonight that back in 1987 October must have been a leap year month instead of February as you will see in. the photo I attached. Thanks @BarryG and @Daddyjt for helping me get parts around for the project. I really appreciate it. And also I got rid of the abortion tweeters @RodH and filled in the screwed up hole that someone made. Cant believe how people destroy vintage equipment . I should have the caps this week and a new sound will be heard this weekend. Cant wait to experience these big Polk's. I need to find some big emblems or stickers to cover the repair area and match the 2 speakers.
  8. It is an AC/DC night.

    Gritting my teeth

    I remember having an RCA console and my mom would put many LP's on top of each other and let them play.
  10. Welcome to the Carver site. There is plenty of knowledge here to help you rebuild your amp. Great group of people willing to help.
  11. Hello and welcome to the site. Great place to be and I have a C-1 if it isn't available when you are ready.
  12. Another good movie tonight.
  13. Looks like a good movie so far.
  14. Welcome @347 Tony to the site. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
  15. Welcome FredH to the Carver site. MXR -150 was my first Carver piece back in 1987 and I had Greg here on the site do a tuneup on it and it’s as good as new. I also have an MXR-130 as an extra that is still kicking. I like those receivers. Good to have you here!
  16. This is a really good movie.
  17. Have fun with this one. Get the tape measure out and an adjustable chair. A lot of it has to do with type of speakers and manufacturers recommendations.
  18. ZZ Top’s first album for an F. That’s the best grade I can get these days. 😂
