60 MB restoration
#33

Although my re-coned speaker works OK, at higher volume levels that damaged old spider starts to vibrate. The other speaker is working great now that the surround and spider have been glued back down so that's what I'll stick with.

Tonight I moved on to wiring in a reproduction cloth covered power cord. I'd heard about the "Underwriter's Knot" before, but this is the first time I've used it. It's easy to tie and really does provide a great strain relief. I also added a bit of heatshrink tubing over where the outer cloth covering ens to prevent it from fraying.

I also found a nice spot to mount a fuse holder using ad existing chassis hole.

So what do you guys use for chassis bolts ? An original is on he far left. The closest modern version I could find is the sheet metal screw next to it. The tread pitch is right, but it'snot quite as snug a fit as the original. The other two bolts are the right diameter but he prong pitch.

Argh! I know I have a spare pair somewhere but can't find them Icon_sad
