There are certainly folks who know how to do it.

I would, personally, be terrified to be working around that kind of magnetic field with any tools made of steel or any other magnetizable metal!

Heck, given a free 802D, I would think the cost of a trip to GPA for a rehab would be easy to justify.

It's not a 288, but the 802D is a pretty nice small-format compression driver (at least, to my ears and taste)

Worth investin' a few shekels in, you know?

:-)

all the best,
