You SHOULD glue the new surround to the INSIDE of the brown masonite ring. Here's a direct link to them (assuming Audiogon allows links): ģ. His is slightly more expensive than others, but I initially ordered my first surrounds from elsewhere and it was a disaster. (I have no relationship with him.) His "kit" comes with all you need (except for new silicone caulk to put around the woofer rim when you reseal it to the cabinet). He's got very detailed, practically foolproof instructions AND he also provides very helpful email support if you should need it - which I did. I STRONGLY recommend buying these from a guy on Ebay whose handle is "looneytune2001". The original Advent roll was larger then the typical speakers of it's day. You should use a quality replacement surround that has the proper, larger "roll" diameter. This technique is very easy and fully explained in the surround kit that I'm recommending next in section 2.Ģ. You either have to remove the dustcaps and shim the voice coils OR you have to use a "live" technique of playing a low bass test tone through the woofer as you do the final glue. My Email is: have done a couple of these successfully, and it's really no big deal - it's actually rewarding to do it yourself. I don't know if Allstate ships them or not, but you have the telly, so call. Or maybe you know someone in NY who could do you the favor. Email me, I can pick up these surrounds and glue and send them to you if you like. You might see the grill breath a little as you really pump them, however. If you put them on the latter way, they come pretty close to the grill when it is in place, but they play just fine. Also, the surrounds can be put one either way, inverted, as the originals, or the other way, as with most speakers. The surrounds cost about $3.00 each, and the glue is about $5.00 for a bottle that can be used to do several pairs. If you screw up the frist time, just carefully remove the surrounds and try again. Don't bother with the replacement woffers, just fix the old ones. They are easy, and just make sure you glue the surround to the cone frist, then you can play with the alingment as you glue the outer edge of the surround to the brown cardboard. These are very easy to do, and I use no special tools other than a knife to scrape off the old surround from the cone. They sell other glues, but I like this Vinalite cement best. They also sell the Vinalite cement to do them.
I get these surrounds at a place called Allstate Electronics in Jamaca, Queens NY(7). You can use standard 10" surrounds, and glue the surround to the top of the brown hard cardboard ring. They come out great, and are as good as the originals, if not better. I have done many pairs of the original Advents.the large ones with the cardboard ring like structure. Just do the the surrounds on the woofers.
