Rattle in speaker - solved!

[JezmondTutu]

Bought off here recently, one speaker rattled. Took the bass driver out and lo and behold, a 10p!

Had it been glued to the back of the cone to add mass?

I bet that was the lad on the production line's 'tea in the canteen at his next break' money.

Is that the speaker value doubled? ;0)

Amazing.

Nowt wrong with having a pair of Tannoy 631 and 10p in your pocket.

 

[Mr Pig]

Amazing.

A bit weird,maybe.

Amazingly weird.

Not really. It's a ported speaker so at some point in its past a kid has posted something in the tempting little hole. Happens.

I once bought an ex dem pair of Sonus Fabers & the dealer loaded them into my car for me. Unboxing I heard a rattle that moved up or down when tilted, so I took the driver out to see what it was. Lo & behold it was a little Super Mario plastic figure; obviously someone had brought a youngster along to an audition & he/she had put it down the port on the back.

I fished it out & all was good.

Then not that weird really.

I worked bedside a guy who's son did this all the time. Put a slice of toast in the VCR! Put the TV remote in the bin. They went to leave the house one day and the key wouldn't go into the lock. Kid had stuffed the lock with leaves he'd pulled off a plant. I thought the toast was good :0)

I would be checking the other one, might not rattle, might have a fiver in there ...

Well recognised!

I thought a child had probably popped it into the port.

The weird thing was that he didn't get his bubble gum for the 10p.

My old Epos 14s picked up a rattle. I pulled the port out and gave them both a good shake and numerous bricks of Lego came out. One of my grandchildren had been "popping" them in.

Yes indeed it happens. I have a small front ported Yamaha sub woofer on my 2nd system, it has received a few unwanted presents though the front port from my very young grandchildren over recent years. One just a couple of weeks ago. Front port covered with cardboard at the moment when not being used…L.O.L…

I used to have speakers with mesh at the inside end of the port for just this reason, I think. You could achieve the same thing with a piece of sheer stocking held in place by tape or a rubber band.

That reminds me, never but a pair of Spendor BC1’s from anyone who was in the Bullingdon Club.
