WTB: Woofers for Baby Advent
« on: May 27, 2014, 11:43:54 PM »
I'm looking for 2 original woofers for the original Baby Advent model A1002, sometimes called the Baby I. Either working with good foam or in need of refoaming.

LOL.....

Eh, they are not all that, but I made them better. These are ones my father had years ago that I've restored/modded for a little guest bedroom rig. All I needed was the woofers as the originals had the dreaded foam rot and got misplaced. I was able to find some newly refoamed for a good price.

I replaced the spring binding posts with gold 5 ways. I've upgraded the single cap to a Clarity and the single resistor to Mills, then mounted them and the stock inductors to a new FR4 board, all point to point wiring. I also replaced all the internal 22 gauge wiring with 16 gauge. I replaced the stock grill cloth (kinda baby shit brown) with real black and refinished the wood end caps to a rich rosewood color. I also added some internal bracing as there was none and added a little bit of damping material to the back wall while retaining the original fiberglass. They sound MUCH better now.
