Happy new year!



Did anyone manage to get the Goo gone to work on the glue of the binding posts?

I've tried to apply it with Q-Tips but it just didn't work very well, Q-Tips just fall apart... And you can't really apply it directly because the bottle won't fit into the speaker... So I just put the speaker facing up and dripped the goo gone on top of the posts, bit messy, but a good layer of goo gone on it.

I applied a layer yesterday, let it sit all night, and this morning checked it, and it seemed to make absolutely no difference Did you need a special Goo Gone? http://www.magicamerican.com/googone/products.aspx They had the Gel one: http://www.magicamerican.com/googone...063ffa1a9.aspx

There was a gunk of glue on top of one binding post, and it wasn't dissolved or anything... Which makes it look to me like this isn't working...

Alright so something like 40 hours later, after a 2nd Goo gone application, seems to have worked! It did dissolve the glue, it isn't entirely gone, but it's definitely weaker, almost the consistency of chewed gum, which made the removal of the 1st binding post screw possible! One down, three to go! Working inside the cabinet makes things quite harder, if the screw was outside, would have been done in 2 minutes, but in the restricted space, just unscrewing a screw isn't that easy... Well, getting the hand of it now

Edit: So one speaker is done! Sounds great! The woofer and tweeter still need some burn in, but compared to another speaker I had on hand, not even close Can't wait to get the 2nd done! But the thing is, since it seemed like the Goo Gone wasn't doing much, I didn't apply it to the 2nd speaker, and so I just gave the 2nd a 2nd spurt of Goo and will have to wait a couple of hours until it does it job...
