Yes Pano, in summation those are pretty lousy numbers .

- I still can't let go of the fact that GPA thought your pair were close enough to spec. to ship back to you ( for your listening enjoyment ) .

- The lesson I take from this is I wouldn't bother sending old beaters to GPA for recharging & then automatic reconing until GPA can confirm that the old alnico has taken a full charge( & therefore is worth reconing ) .

- Robert, did the 077 diaphragms still fit properly into the gap or did they bind when you tried to fit them in ?
- Your problem is also quite intriguing. It sounds like either something shifted in transit or that your magnets were demagged & then remagged ( with the component parts coming loose after demagging & then being remagged while out of center ).
- You might want to contact LHF member "pelly3s" who works for an outfit ( that does recones out of "Springfield MA" ) which also owns a magnetizer .
- They might be able to fix your JBL 2405/077 drivers ( assuming the "slots" are still with you ) .
- Here's a thread to read at LHF which includes pictures of that companies magnetizer . It's possible it doesn't have enough juice to do large drivers / you'd need to ask .
