Older monitor 10s, driver seized

Striker2237

Pair of these popped up really close to me (4 min) so I impulse bought them as a gift for a friend. I stupidly didn't check them before accepting and I discovered one of the MW6500s is magnet shifted and that side cabinet isn't sealed correctly.

Cabinets are in nearly new condition at least, that's the main reason other than crazy close proximity for me buying them. Plus my friend just doesn't have real speakers....

Does anyone happen to have a spare 6500 or am I stuck having to reglue? I don't really want to replace them with the 6503s if I can avoid it.

Thanks!

If you pray real hard one might show up on eBay.

Oh I've been doing so and hitting F5 every day haha!

Do any members still offer repair services? I've had very poor luck finding a spare and would prefer to to not screw up a 6500 on my first attempt at a fix....

@lawdogg might be able to help you.

It's really not that hard to re-center. You could fix it in was less time and way less cost of a good used driver (which may show up at your doorstep magnet-shifted anyway)...

That said I'd be happy to help if I can. It would involve you shipping the driver to me with a return label, and hoping the driver isn't damaged in some other way that would prevent it from working correctly after re-centering.

That would be amazing! I'll PM you, thanks a lot!
