Hi, I forgot to add a warning in my instructions, please note as follows.When you use the twine method to rock the cone to one side, be mindfull of the two voice coil wires comming off the cone to the terminal post. On older speakers they can be pulled out fairly easly. Another thing to take note of is just removing the female spade lugs from the speaker terminal can be a job. You can pull so hard that the fiberglass part of the strip breaks, and you are not prepaired for it, and you wind up ripping the voice coil wire out of the cone. Do not ask how I know this! You should hold the lug on the strip with a plier if you can while you pulling off the spade lug. When reinstalling these lugs should be fairly tight, you can crimp down the ends some to retention them, here again hold the strip well when replacing the lug.I have worked on a lot of amps that had funky inermitant output, only to find these speaker connections floating around. Its not a problem for a push/pull style output stage like the kustom, but on a small single ended output stage or a tube amp, it can and will blow the output stage. You`ve been warned!.
