thanks for the quick reply LES!, gotta love HF diy section, finding info on otherwise niche/un-tread paths via google fu alone is not high yield. the last MS-pro (pink mesh driver) I did I was able to get open with a set of very fine surgical blades and some wiggling; by just running the blade around the groove, the glue was really old so a hairdryer was producing inconsistent results, some was too dried out to properly soften. I just masked off the front of the driver to be safe, but no joy and didnt want to push my luck.
yep it certainly wouldnt be done as a favor, this type of work has a danger money quota. I've done all sorts of high dollar cans with no mishap as yet, so the nerves are pretty good, but all the same … the grados are probably the biggest pita i've done so far, apart from some DX1000 that already had cracked hinges/swivels that I had to crack open and reinforce from the inside, came up good as, possibly stronger than new.
Yeah I saw you had only reterminated your 8 wire cable lol on a 28ohm Grado, why do you think they did that? just in case one wire went there would be backup? it sure doesnt need the current handling. I saw later that you had worked on some friends similar cans with 2 x quad, I hoped being an owner and diyer you would probably know what the deal was.
anyway thanks for the confirmation, welcome back! I havent been spending as much time here lately either, pretty happy with my rig these days and if I feel like a change I build something
cheers
