You americans could help us europeans! We send our ribbons to and you send them to Magnepan for exchange. Then back from you to Europe.

In Europe it is awfully expensive having them repaired.

Ordered a ribbon repairvkit from Magnepan this summer. Unfortunately they cannot send you the original 3 ohm ribbons for older Tympani IV/IVa, prior to serial number 020949 (mine have 020838). The 2 ohm ribbon plus 1 ohm resistor ribbon is said to be not as good sonicly but more robust.

The recent 3 ohm ribbon is narrower. Maybe it can be used in the old ribbon cages too? Sure the gap between the magnets is wider, thicker dots of adeshive is a must. The magnets are also thicker in the recent ribbons, a loss of effiency would be the case. Maybe it will hold up to the original Tympani IV/IVa ribbons?
