Be careful when storing WD25 woofers ?
The paper cones on my WD25Ts are of course made by Seas and I have experienced the same problem with both of them; namely that they have become unstuck from the "collar" thingy(voice coil former ?????) that surrounds the voice coil. I am pretty sure this will be due to their having been stored unprotected in a spare drawer in an office desk for around a year before finally building the boxes and also the actual cone itself has also formed a sort of meandering varicose vein-like crease from the dust cover outward. This doesnīt appear to affect things and I have been able to reglue them using a sort of mix made up of tissue paper and diluted PVA glue which seems to have worked OK although I donīt know how long for.
My reason for posting is to warn people that these paper cones need a bit of care and attention when storing. Of course temperatures where I live (the Canaries) can be a bit savage in the summer so maybe that has something to do with it
I know that Falcon Acoustics stock replacements and I shall probably get round to ordering a pair as spares shortly.
