RE: Magneplanar 1.6QR ribbon repair/replacement

Posted by neolith on January 2, 2017 at 09:16:53:
Ok, a dead tweeter means a break somewhere. The obvious is the fuse and I am sure you tried a replacement. The next place to look would be the wire on the panel. A visual inspection might reveal the break and if you are lucky its a single spot that could be fixed with silver epoxy used to repair circuit boards. However I would not on bet on this being the case. More likely the wire has corroded and you will find sections that look powdery and fallls apart when rubbed lightly. Do not dispair -- the cure is a DIY repair. Contact Magnepan and they wiill sell you a repair kit for two panels with instructions. The repair is not difficult but is a bit tedious. The hardest part is removing the skirts.
