Altec A7 Refurbishment
I am getting closer to finishing my Altec A7 refurbishment. This has been a 2 year project (on and off, mostly off).This pair of A7 was strip of its paint, re-braced both the lower woofer horn panel and bottom panels with 1 x 3 lumber. Two coats of primer follow by two coats of grey #5. The exteriors were finished off with new decals and stencils for the front panels. Both speakers were dampen with Ultra Touch Blue Denim insulation. I have some questions for my fellow Lansing enthuses. Should I do anything to the cross over units? They seem to be fairly clean. I hear folks talk about upgrading or changing the capacitors. There are suppose to be 2 pairs of capacitors per cross over, but I see only one pair in each. If so what are the cost? Where should I look? Parts-Express maybe, any part numbers anyone can help with? I also hear talk about changing the wire size and adding a felt pad on the inside cover of the HF driver. What should the ohm reading be for the HF and LF drivers? Where can I get a copy of the cross over specs?
