Repairing DAC90A loudspeaker fixings
Hi All, Thanks for the useful replies on my other thread. I have another problem with my DAC90As in that a couple of the bosses moulded into the case that the speaker clamps screw into have broken.
My thought is to rebuild these with epoxy of some sort and then drill and tap new screw holes. What I am worried about is that the repair will not bond strongly enough to the bakelite and will pull away under the weight of the speaker. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks Bob |

Re: Repairing DAC90A loudspeaker fixings
Hi Bob,
I've always found that epoxy, such as araldite, always bonds extremely well to bakelite. I would be worried about drilling and tapping into the cabinet in case you went too far . If it was me I'd epoxy studs into the damaged mountings and secure the speaker with nuts Regards David |
