My forebears came here in small boats! They came with swords and for ‘a bit of r&r with the local wenches’ on their mind. Hasn’t made me think I own the place though!

Those tweeter specs are helpful, thank you. My problem is that nobody in Europe appears to stock the Goldwood. GT-1016. There is this thread from 2007 (!) on alternatives https://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11162 The following are supposed to be alternatives, but I can't find anyone who can confirm they are good alternatives and work. Pulse PLS00306 <-- Can't find anywhere near to me Monacor MPT-016 <-- Available at Thomann (https://www.thomann.co.uk/monacor_mpt_016.htm) Quite expensive each. GRS PZ1016 NPeople have claimed that these are a replacement and the model number indicates at least a relationship to the Goldwood but are 4Ohm as opposed to 8Ohm, noit sure if this is an issue TBH. Available at https://www.soundimports.eu/en/grs-pz1016.html I have been offered something from a kind basschatter so will enquire there first. Also it may well be that the issue with all of this is a simple wiring issue and a fault finding check may find the issue. My issue is still that I'm unclear on how to fault find a piezo speakers. Thanks Rob

Perhaps not. But it does make it consistent and consistency is required for the old "ignorance of the law is no defence" to carry any weight. And ultimately no other body / person / dictionary editor gets to make a definition that carries consequence and enforceability. So in a practical manner rather than academic, no other definition is important.

@Hellzero The thread about the crossover, oddly enough from @neepheid, is here https://www.billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26505 I believe that the view from Bill was that nothing else is needed for his design apart from the resistor. I'm no expert here, hence this thread Certainly the box as it came to me had nothing more complicated than a square resistor as shown in the picture. It may well be that it should have had something more complicated in place and has never worked, but given the (high) quality of the build. I suspect it has worked properly in the past. I have nothing to back this up, but would love to get this small cab working to its full potential. @bertbass Thanks for this. That phrase "the resistor is there to prevent ultrasonic oscillations" rings a bell as I have read that in Bills forum as I've been investigating this further. I appreciate all the help, I'll try and work out what to do next. Thanks Rob

M'dear? You sexist b*stard. 🙂

Cheers m'dear 👍

I remember many years ago a mate of mine had a posh but very right-on girlfriend. He was a proper midlander, but kind of skinny and not at all hard... And I lost count of the amount of times he'd get punched because she'd taken exception to some cokernee geeza effin and c-in at the bar... It normally went: Geez to his mate: Cor what a F-in C he is! She, next to Geez at bar: You do realise that that's a term that's highly offensive to women and I want you to stop using it! Geez: Or f-in what, you C? Partner to She: C'mon Vix me duck, let's go! Geez punches partner in face.

Yes, this one's a 250.

Yep, this set goes back to the Mk V, and there are some significant differences between it and the Mk IV. Thank you for sending those though! I've downloaded them and I'll bet there will be anywhere old tank added to the pile within the year, 😁. 👍

If you really lose the plot, just turn your volume down and dance about. Nobody will notice they can't hear you. I've done it a few times 😄

At the risk of stating the obvious, Parliament's definition is political, the Courts definition is legal and guided by Parliament. That makes them partisan, not definitive. Just because they have power and are in control, it doesn't necessarily make them right.

Def another rehash of Fender there @Hellzero……

I have my first electric guitar too. I got in when I was 14 in 1983. It's a lefty Fender from the late sixties so worth some money now (but it wasn't in the 80s or most of the 90s) and I still use it occasionally, but I've mostly hung onto it for this reason combined with sentimental value.

If you're on a phone then the friends feed is the only way... However, if you're on a pc and using a browser, add the Facebook Purity extension. It gets rid of large chunks of stuff you don't want!

Now I understand why there's no filter in this @Bill Fitzmaurice design... Here are the specs of this Goldwood GT-1016 tweeter: Power handling: 50 watts RMS/75 watts max * Frequency response: 3,500-27,000 Hz * SPL: 94 dB * Manufacturer model number: GT-1016 * Dimensions: A: 5-3/4", B: 2-3/4", C: 2".

On the website the left column has options of ALL / Favourites / Friends and so on. Just click Friends. For some reason that doesn't work on the iOS app though. I'm still looking on there. If someone works that out please let me know too!

Appreciate the reply! I'll check with the custom shop how much a passive conversion would cost.

Thanks so much for the reply! So the built-in preamp is probably fine and I should just get some shielding in the cavities to reduce 50/60hz hum?

My latest addition:

Ooooh tell me how!! Face ache is driving me to despair nowadays. If it wasn't for family in Oz I would dump it completely!

I don't think it was an AH150, as that had quite a shallow depth. Ah - the pics show it has a UV tube too, so that rules it out anyway.

Who: Parliament and the Courts. Authority: the constitution.
