Re: Upper binding posts on Monitor75T not working
Well, I'm absolutely amazed, but I learned a lesson: always check the simple stuff first. When I pulled the tweeter, the green cable from the crossover to the tweeter was, in fact, loose and semi-hidden. It was far enough below the tweeter opening that I'm 99.99% certain that pulling out the tweeter is not what made the connector come loose. And that idea was reinforced when I was very surprised at the force required to firmly seat the connector on the tweeter's lead. But why in the world would that wire have come loose in a speaker being unboxed and used for the very first time? That question is the reason I didn't even think to check that before making this post.
So, thank you very much for your help -- and for saving me what could have turned out to be a long, needlessly expensive and emberassing trip to a speaker repair facility!

Re: Post a picture... any picture
Although the grille does resemble a '69, it seems to be a custom grille, as it is wider (higher) in the middle.
The creases in the fender, door, and rear quarter match '67s and '68s, but not '69s.
The '67s have a vent window in the door and the '68s do not. '68s have side marker lights and '67s do not.
Still, there is such a level of custom work on this car, it's pretty hard to say for sure what year it is.
Yes, here's a picture of A 68 Z/28 you can compare to. Mine was the same color combo.

Re: Documenting: My SDA-1c upgrades from start to finish
Comparing 45 year old cross over parts in the 1C's you just bought to modded updated cross over parts in your 5B's and then making comments about the different tweets is silly.
Why not wait until the 1C crossovers are brought up to the same standard as the other speakers you are comparing when trying to evaluate the different tweets?
Your comparisons and such are so haphazard and since there seems to be no "control" aspect of your comparisons they are pretty much meaningless.
Saying one (tweeter) is better than the other before leveling the playing field so to speak is a waste of time and posting space, IMO.
