I am in the process of acquiring a pair of Meridian M2 loudspeakers.
They are apparently in fine working order, but look rather tatty.
My intention is to refurbish them as a winter project, i.e. re-veneer the cabinets and refurbish the electronics.
Now I have never delved into PCB component replacement. I've been quoted £425 to re-cap the pair of amplifiers in the speakers.
Now on the face of it this seems like quite a simple process, but nevertheless something I have not attempted before. But I'm reasonably capable and have the time to take it slow & steady.
I'm looking for advice as to what kit I need (I have a soldering iron but not sure if it is the best type for the process), tips for going about the work, on-line resources I can read, what components to go for...
So basically any advice on completing this task!
Thanks in advance!
