Presumably you mean the arbour (for want of a better word) to place the VC former over for winding? Are there for example minor variations of ID between say nominally 1" VC formers?
Cheers chaps.
How many you trained then @Arkless Electronics?
There were a couple of dodgy bodgers but I am pretty certain that I know who you mean and he screwed me too but Wembley Loudspeakers (in Acton!) were still in business last time I checked and I would recommend them.I know who you mean as he screwed me over, too but I understand that he has now given up.
Thank goodness…
I understood blown/fused/melted voice coils were more likely to arise from using an under powered amp clipping and putting out dc.
Given he's running (or was) 300 wpc, is it not more likely the moving part of the motor (cone, coil, surround) has just been hyper extended, buggering the surrounds?
Very happy to educated on all the above, and no offence will be taken.

OK, thanks. I seem to recall them actually replacing a coil but presumably that was one from previous stock. They have re aligned a BC1 bass unit too.Unless they have recently taken-on coil winding, they do not do it. Been there as a first port of call a few years back.
On a purely commercial basis, if they are available, replacing the whole driver or cone assembly would make far more sense than rewinding a voice coil.
Good to hear that the business is still running - my enquiry coincided with one of the partners dying, which seemed to have really affected the remaining one (apologies, can't remeber names).
