Thank you, I appreciate the advice! I would really love to keep it original, especially having got lucky with the Beomaster 2200 – think I’ve caught the B&O bug.

So I’ve tested continuity and it seems like one is good, one is not! Which probably doesn’t get me far. I agree it seems unlikely to find many of the drivers on their own – most likely if there’s a non-working S45 out there, this is what might have gone wrong….! I did find the thread you mean I think, looks like a satisfying process.

There is part of me thinking ultimately I may have to find a suitable alternative driver, but not given up yet. Is there any way to find out the TS parameters of the original driver itself?

I’ve put a few photos of the speaker for interest..and one of it’s brother too…

Thank you, I’ve seen some of the discussion from years ago by trawling these valuable forums, and appreciate the advice!

I think I’ll give it a go – I’ve located the thread with your instructions Matador, and quite excited to try and make it work. I feel the possibility with one is more than the other, in that at least there’s continuity in the driver.

With the dead one, where the voice coil must be damaged, is there any realistic chance of reparing do you think, or would it need a new voice coil – and is that even possible?? (replacing just the coil) It seemed from the old thread that you had success in repairing, but I can’t imagine even having the eyesight required to locate the break, never mind repairing it.

If it works it’ll sure be a satisfying process though!
