Replacing the horn tweeter for a AMI Continental 1
I recently replaced the capacitor and resistors in the crossover of my Continental and discovered that the next problem is that the horn tweeter is broken. So, what to replace it with? I read a lot of discussion in the archive and indeed here that says that piezo horns are unsatisfactory.but are cheap. I'm happy to pay for a compression type if I can find one. The problem seems to me to be one of finding a horn that will slot into the space. I could buy an off the shelf unit like a .Pyle-Pro PH391 but it is a lot bigger and would mean that I would have to cut out a slot in the cabinet to fit. I will carry on and see if I can find another of the existing size. Alternatively, there are separate horn drivers available without the horn. They all? have a 1 inch throat. I could make an adaptorthe existing horn by an adaptor to take one of those.which would be preferable to cutting the cab.. I could also try to find a circular tweeter to substitute and blank off the rest of the slot. It would have to be a high sensitivity type. Has anyone else tried to solve this problem? What, in detail, did you do? Any advice will be gratefully received. Doug

I’ll get the ball rolling again I ordered replacement transistors for the 2N109’s on a Seeburg SHFA-1 amp. Would someone be kind enough to share the pin out on the socket(s) so I use the correct orientation? No I don’t have a schematic.

Hello all, I posted this a couple of weeks ago. Did anyone see it? Hello all, Just a quick question. Does anyone know or has anyone ever used a G-80 turntable motor on a E-80 mechanism. I have an E-80 and the belts just cause it to be a shade slower than 45 rpms records to play slow. I wondered if they would fit the same on the mechanism. I'm trying to get away from the belts and go with a direct motor. Just wanted to ask...any thoughts? If not, any thoughts on how to get the belts to not play a shade slower on the turntable motor. As always, thanks for your help. Jamie On Wed, Jun 7, 2023 at 3:39 AM Nigel Pugh via Jukebox-list < jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com> wrote:

Hi Jamie, I don't know if you can use a G80 motor on the E80. It's likely that you probably can if you also have the G80 idler wheel and it's brackets etc. But that is a guess. However, assuming your current motor has been disassembled and cleaned and lubricated correctly, and it is running at the correct speed and not getting hot or slowing down, and also assuming you are not in the UK and using the American 60hz motor on our 50hz mains supply, why don't you increase the diameter of the motor shaft ever so slightly ? Experiment doing it with a piece of tape wrapped around the spindle until you get the desired speed, and then when you do, consider a more permanent solution. Regards, Nigel uk.
