I have had a go at cleaning the speaker fabric on one that I was attempting to smarten up a few years ago and agree - I don't think my ministrations improved things.

Having bolted everything together and checked it out, this one does not sound as deep as my memory of these units. I will have the check that I have correctly replaced and connected all the components around the audio feedback loop.

Howard has always been the Gold Standard to aim for in these matters. Sadly, I can only dream of approaching that.
