Mission Speakers refoaming

Mission Speaker before renovation

Got myself two pairs of Mission 700 from a back garden with the foam that was knackered. two pairs have been refurbished with the Monacor driver, the other is going to be re-foamed. The foam, ordered from an Ebay seller fits perfectly although it is time consuming as one must press the foam at the back of the cone for a good hour before it starts to stick…

Here are some photos of the process:

The final product

MOS Fet Hi-Fi Power Amplifier

Now that my DIY webcam project is nearing to completion, I am planning to work on some (old) new one. Crescendo MEBack in 1985 I build a Hi-Fi Power amplifier, I still have the blue prints and I am keen to rebuild it. These days, with MP3 gizmos, music kind of lost it’s spark, It’s amazing how much presence is felt when you play a good old Vinyl, no wonder it’s coming back into fashion!

Long live Analog!
