tweeter damage in an IBL

Posted by: paddie008 on 27 October 2003

one of my IBL tweeters has suffered child finger damgage - doesnt seem to affect it but i'm sure cant have done them any good...

any ideas - do i need to get a new unit or are there any quick and dirty fixes

You should be able to suck it out with a vacuum cleaner.

I held my hand around the end of the nozzle so that if the vacuum did jolt forward the nozzle would'nt do any more damage to the tweeter

You could also try this, gently press sticky tape onto the pressed in dome and pull out. This was passed on to me by my Naim dealer Robert Ritchie , it does work as i have managed to pull out my tweater domes on Saras (more than once).
