While on the theme of questionable upgrades, I've just bought a pair of
S/H ATC SCM 19 speakers - an older pair, the same as these:

They arrived with the dust caps pushed in - both:

The seller sent them in decent boxes, but packed them solid with bubble
wrap. I think the bubble wrap just worked its way in during transit.

They work fine - but obviously I'm not happy with them like this. And no
grilles.

I've contacted the buyer, and I'll see what he says - but I was
wondering what the thinking was on making this good.

Have you tried a piece of tube the same size, and sucking?


The thought had occurred as one of the least invasive options. Unless I
lashed up some sort of cone device I think, amazingly, that my mouth
wouldn't be big enough (!). Also, would there be enough seal?

And thanks to Johan who emailed the pin trick - I'd like to try
something that doesn't damage the cones first. Although it does look as
though it's creased, so back to original is looking unlikely.

I've also seen a cut cotton bud and super glue on youtube.

Any idea what might replace the sticky laquer? I have written to ATC for
advice.

The seller has agreed to help sort it, which is a start.
