A while back, I got a pair of beautiful Jensen 15" field coil drivers for a tube-powered sub project. They were sitting there in the storage room when my wife decided to clean it and free up some space. So she piggybacked them one into another, and on top of the upper one crammed an old Christmas tree stand.On another occasion, I was playing an LP, with my cat sitting nearby. I noticed that the cat started behaving as if she saw a mouse or a bird. I looked at what attracted her attention, and it was the headshell. The record was slightly warped, so the headshell was moving up and down a little bit. I rushed to intercept, but cat's reaction was better than mine.
One more. I picked Marantz 2325 at the garage sale. It is a big and heavy vintage receiver. Not my kind of gear, but it was free, so i couldn't pass. I checked it up quickly, and everything looked OK. I just happened to finish a pair of speakers with expensive Scan Speak drivers at that time, so I hooked them up to the Marantz. Everything was fine for a while, but then the right channel started wild subsonic oscillations. The driver's cone violently sucked in, then popped out and froze in that position. Unlike the two previous stories, this one ended well. I managed to put the voice coil back in its place and the driver worked fine ever since.
