Re: Original RTA 12 restoration and mods
You mean before shipping?
Yes because after shipping it may not matter. My thought is to keep from slipping the best you could for anybody buying these. A frozen voice coil will mean refund on the driver, scarce enough as it is.

Re: Original RTA 12 restoration and mods
I'd JB weld them first our some sort of putty epoxy to keep them from slipping.

Re: Vincent SV-226MKII integrated
Thanks Ivan.
So here’s the deal: a few months ago the Vincent was making a clicking noise when powering on. I changed the front tube and all was well. A couple of weeks ago the clicking came back so I ordered a pair of new tubes for the back. Again, new tubes, no clicking. Well, I turn it on a couple of days ago and I’ve got no sound in the left speaker. Troubleshooting leads me to the tube which is a goner. Since the integrated is for sale, I had the box inside and I found an extra tube that I never knew I had. I put it in and, so far, problem solved. BUT, I want to give it some time before selling it now.

Re: Quick recovery for NooshinJohn
You're a Marine, so you got this.
As a Marine, you're supposed to be surrounded.
As you can see by all the well wishers, in this case they're all friendlies, so while it's a bit of a pain in the a$$, it's no sweat 🤗
At least you don't have to worry about sand fleas.

Re: RTA 12 (12A/ first version) top hat/ cover support
Specifically made for Polk at the time. You could have one scanned and then have some 3D printed, but that will not be cheap.
Thank you; 3D printing is a good suggestion. Our local library has 3D printers and residents can print @ $0.20 per gram. The key is to find an iPhone compatible with the printer and scan it. I suspect the 3D printed support will be a lot heavier than the original. Appreciate the good suggestion. These are keepers so it maybe worth it.

Re: Strictly Jazz - Suggestions and a discussion about the music.
FWIW….this thread is awesome and much appreciated.
I consider this boxed set a must have except I currently don’t own a spinner.

Re: Mid life crisis,Yea or Nay???
Thanks. That was taken last summer. It has looked that way since I brought it home in April 2008. It had 8900 miles on it when I purchased it. The guy that bought it says he’s been waiting for one the was adult owned and maintained. It had 54,880 miles when he took possession. I had a full synthetic oil change,and new tires the day before he bought it. I couldn’t sell it with the tires that were on it. They were way over due to be replaced.If that's a current pic, you took some seriously good care of it!
