Litfan once said these were easy to work on, had 2 myself, looks a bloody nightmare Frank

 

[fyj2972]

Yeah， Its insane.
I feel so sorry Litfan passed away and still remember those old days we were having fun at S2G.

Update: Deck A , Deck B service complete.
I will dump those 2 passive radiator . And switch them o AIWA 160mm ( made by Panasonic) woofers.

I really like the look with those passive radiators, it would be a shame to lose the originality.

 

[Reli]

What are the original passives made of? Plastic, paper, or.....?
Would be nice to re-whiten them somehow.

 

[fyj2972]

Foam edge ,Paper cone and metal frame.

frank are they the same size as the 880 passive radiator, i can't remember, if so i would like to buy them from you

 

[fyj2972]

Let me see if I still have another pair of black 160 mm passive radiators. A Black is better than white on a AIWA for sure.

thank you Sir

 

[fyj2972]

I just check 880 service manual

Loudspeakers: 2 x 140mm, 2 x 50mm, 1 x 170mm

Center fake woofer is 170mm NOT 160mm.

 

[Radio raheem]

Damn that was quick, back to the drawing board i guess, thanks for checking my friend

 

[Reli]

White looks awesome, if it's true white, not that faded brown. Why not bleach them or paint them white, and then re-do the "Toshiba" label if you need to?

 

[Reli]

Those are good passives by the way, they have a spider suspension behind them, unlike the Aiwa passive which has nothing behind it.

Correction:

Deck A : p/n 25755527 PRB FRW9.2 (main belt)

Deck B : same as deck A but add a counter belt, which Toshiba part number is 25755529 . PRB SCY 7.0
