Cheers, Marshall.
Well, I was screwing around with my 604-8k's and accidently sent full signal through the compression driver on one side. Only ~3watts, but full signal none the less. By the time I realized it, the output on that one side dropped quite a bit. Now the HF coil reads 1 ohm. ugg... I guess I need to replace that diaphragm. I've never done this before, but there looks to be three screws holding the black diaphragm ring to the 902 type magnet assembly. It doesn't seem too complicated. Is this something I can attempt myself? I think I feel safer working on it myself vs. shipping it all the way to Great Plains. Maybe there is someone out there who has done this swap that can comment on the difficulty level.
Thanks,
Dan

the instruction sheets are in much better resolution on the GPA website or Altec Pro.
Not all vegetables make good leaders.
If you have not yet, check the leads going to the diaphragm. I had an 806 blow out (I thought) but when I disassembled it I found one of the leads had burned into. I had enough left to solder the broken piece back together. This repair lasted 15 years.
This may not apply to you, but I would check it first...
Good luck...
Thanks for the information. Those instructions don't look too bad. I'll check later to see if it's a burned lead.

I would assume that a broken lead would cause an open and no output.
Since you now measure 1 ohm, you likely smoked the coil and the turns hav pretty much all shorted together.
Since it's toast, go ahead and remove it. Nothing to lose if it's bad.
You might need to use a sharp knife to get under the edge of the fram assembly to pop it lose. They tend to stick in place.
Mark the terminals + and - on the magnet assembly. this will help you key it when you put the new one in.
