I removed the back cover and diaphragm so I could shine a light thru the phase plug and see if the bug screen needed cleaning.Bill at GPA suggested removing the bug screen, but I have read that it can collapse the magnetic field of the driver, so the bug screens were left alone.
I was not sure how to properly take the driver apart any further without damaging it, so that was as far as I went with the process.
There is a local prosound/MI/electronics repair depot close to home and I dropped off the drivers for their speaker tech to evaluate.One of the sales guys said they might have re-mag equipment in the shop, perhaps later today I will know if they can help or not.
Edit : the local repair depot failed to produce results, so I sent the 808's off to GPA.
Bubble wrapped and doubled boxed them to survive UPS delivery goons, but IME they can trash anything.
