lots of us love to see/hear great sounding boxes --
especially if they are beautiful -
like this pioneer ck3

but --what if we have a big ugly SMASH :'-(
how long can you stare at THAT ???

---------------

so = what to do// what to do ??
wimp out and send it 150 miles across the state to Franks

NO --try to fix it first ( then ... send it to Franks )

2 problems to attack -----
first the bruise on the top plastic --
ok - i dont fix plastic --instead i make aluminum covers ( which i like )
----
this is 1/16" x 3/4" flat stock = costs about a buck per foot
bend the corner in a vice with 2 blocks of hardwood and a hammer ( with a block or softwood )
-- (-this one needs a bit more pounding )

next --lets fix the bent screen -
whip our your long driver to get to it -- right ???

[redbenjoe]

WRONG !!!
took it apart for nothing
the inner casing is sealed --cant get to the screen back

next try --ever-so- carefully use a knife to pry open the screen -DONT bend it !!

-------------

NICE metal front piece & nice magnets

----all done -
ALL speakers should have metal corners

 

[skippy1969]

That looks pretty nice now Ira........

 

[redbenjoe]

thanks scott --
so its not OEM factory mint --

but now i LIKE looking at it -
and the sound is awesome

 

[skippy1969]

Yes,it looks better than that the bashed in look......
I have one one these too......

 

[redbenjoe]

dibs

 

[hemiguy2006]

Very nice
I'm glad you got it fixed up and looking good again.
And without having to send it 150 miles away

 

[Superduper]

Are you gonna balance it by doing the other side too?

 

[redbenjoe]

that would be an easy one --

but --the non-symmetry is ' in ' with us sophisticates

No it's not.

i do have a few ck speaker boxs sitting around if you want to take it back to mint as the front part wouldent be cost much to send

A few?? from this rare model??

How do you guys find all this stuff? and in NZ???

You need to learn how to fix plastic






You better make another piece for the other speaker!
