Yup. JBL and JBL DIYers thin it waay past mfrs recommendations and airbrush very thin coats on diaphragms that can benefit from a bit of damping (don't try it on your Altec 'frams!).Quote:

Are you going to complain to the manufacturer or go out and buy new Bearings Again.That kind a thing is what I have run into.So yes I follow Manuf.Recomend.for a givin product.
I don't need to bet a $100 on it because I'm not a (Know it All):D But I'll take that gentleman's bet.But a even thick coat is required.Coming out in globs or spitting is not acceptable as working !!!
And it also shouldn't be thinned.Aquaplas is a functional material,not a paint.When you thin it you diminish it's dampening characteristics.
Product Pricing and Description
(OG) I am not going to guarantee it will do a quality job, only that I can get it to work.
OK if you won't guarantee a quality job then, "What Is The Point"
I personally am not interested in Cheap or fast.I want Quality and am willing to go the extra mile to that end.I have been there and done that before,and more often than not I would have to do over again.So more time and money so how much was I really saving.
You can rent one of these from your local paint shop or Homey D. for $20-$30 a day.You just may have to tweak the tip or gun/hose.And put a 1/4" nozzle on it.But this unit looks like the one right out of the box.

Or if you know someone who owns a paint shop you can borrow one for FREE !! :D My recommendation just bring it back Super Clean !!
Now let me check my wallet for a crispy C-note just in case I will be eating some crow for the foreseeable future.;) :D
I see, then it's two different products we're looking at. That link is for the DL-10Y, and I've been looking at the Anti-vibe DL.Quote:

Yeah I was wondering about the sheet stuff with the adhesive backing.I asked Bfish about it.But Glass insulation is probably the best for inside the DIY Cabinets that I inquired to him about.Quote:

What's so special about the "Altec factory finish"...?

Looks more like a spackling brush job to me... :D
Factory finish certainly looks better than this !! :D DON'T IT ! ;)
I wonder why nobody has bid on those Beauties ! ;)
I will take a factory finish anyday of the week especially if it is in mint cond. :2thumbsup:
I may not pay huge amounts of cash for Western Electric wire or solder, but that doesn't mean I totally shun authenticity. That and I'd be more confident in my spraying skills than brush skills....... it's amazing how bad I can make something look with a brush. I think I could put brush marks in water.Quote:

If I were to try to duplicate the factory finish, I'd brush the 1/4" functional coat, and follow with a "thrown" coat for the spackle effect.
I was kind of surprised when I saw the ebay horns....... I had assumed that the finish Altec horns normally had, was due to a chemical reaction of the compound. It appears that's not the case.Quote:
