Default Kef T27 repair

Try bluetak, make it pliable 'playing with it first' (the bluetack that is)
then gently put over the dimple, a quick pull should restore the foil back
if your lucky!

I just got a second hand pair of speakers off Ebay. They seem to work
fine but the dome is pushed in on one of the T27s.


Obvious question, anyone know of clever way to pull it out again?


Thanks to everyone who has emailed me and answered on the newsgroup.

I have tried the vacuum cleaner carefully and it has largely pulled the
dome back out. There are now 4 small dimples on an otherwise normal

dome.

Yup, that's how it goes!


Do you all think these imperfections in the dome will have a serious
effect



No


or can I consider it job done?



Yes.


Unless of course someone can suggest
a way to get the dimples out as well.



If it bothers you (bothered me enough to reject a pair of very

barginacious
Dynaudio Contour 1.1s, I might add....!!) you could try warming the domes
gently with a hairdryer* and approach them *very carefully* with the

vacuum
cleaner again. (On second thoughts - just live with it!)


* If you don't have/use a hairdryer there's plenty here who do (I'm

certain
of it) - mebbe one of 'em will lend you one?
