@@malfunctionjunction6212 I've never seen Cerwin Vega have anything to do with a recone or any repairs for that matter. What address did you send it to??
Hey Love your channel!! Also love Cerwin Vega's have three pair. but curious if you ever showed the fully restore 211's? I have the 217Rs of that line and love them. I still need to upgrade the cross overs. But would love to see the 211s fully restored.
Miller Sound in Lansdale, PA will re-foam and re-cone. Just had my SW-12B subwoofer done. It's really amazingly even better. He can do practically any CW
I will definitely be getting back to this project as soon as possible. I am still debating on what route to go for the new cabinets and trying to source out better quality recones for them as I was not satisfied with the ones Speaker Exchange sent me.
I pulled a pair of 211s out of an e cycle pile about 4 years ago. Refoamed, replaced the crossover caps with mundorf film caps, good cleaning of the cabinets and some Howard's feed'n'wax, new cloth on the grills. They sound great. Not the most revealing speaker, gotta put some volume into them to really make them come alive, but they aren't real fussy about room placement and they look good. I'm going to be buying the new l100 classic mkii but I'll keep these around for funsies.
Love your work man! I’m fixing up a pair of S2 myself for the moment. For now it refoam time. Later I will start on the cabinets. They are only 211 yes, but I think they are rare no? In Norway at least they are. The sides with the holes and that water damage is beyond a proper repair yes. So I say change the side and top plate. Maybe get the sides cut in a machine if you have a workshop close to you? To get that 45 angle on the top and the cut for the back plate to fit in? That cut needs to be 90 degrees perfect for the back plate to sink in properly. About that vc, maybe there are longer vc to be found somewhere? So that you could reuse that new cones you have but change out the vc only. I think I have seen the somewhere. Perhaps Brew City has something.
I had thought about contacting Brew City to see if he would be willing to help me out with new recone kits for these. I want to get the proper cone depth as the originals as well as the proper voice coil. I'm pretty picky more often then not when it comes to rebuilding my speakers.
Yes sir, looking forward to seeing restoration. I have a pair of AT -12 I hope to fix. But i don't have your knowledge. Hopefully what the issue is i can learn from your videos. P.S. Still have not found anything new about our pair of 215P's. Not from lack of trying.
For the panels that have a step in them in the back, if the total thickness is say, 3/4" you could use one 1/2" sheet bonded to a 1/4" sheet that's slightly longer (making the step) that way you don't have to try to rotor a step into the edge of a 3/4 sheet of wood. Just an idea if you wanna build new sides :)
I did mention that in the video did I not? If speakers are more than 20 years old I replace them. The first speakers I replaced the caps in were my D-1s and I couldn't believe the difference.
@@SavingVegas Yes, you said you would change the caps, I was interested in you making a video of it. Would be interesting. Yes there are lots of videos of it, just saying.
Ive got a pair of 311p's which are quite similar, Did a refoam job on them, they turned out nice, but want to change the capacitors on the crossover, yes, 40-50 years old. do you know where to get the data on the drivers for these older CV speakers? Im interested on the freq of the drivers. Ok, thanks. Would like to see them redone. Would be interesting.
I believe the woofer is a L-121 not to sure on the individual frequency specs for each driver but over-all they should be similar to my 211's even though it's a different woofer (L-122 ) which have a flat response of 32Hz to 20,000Hz. Not a lot of info out there on the 311p.
On them surround,s. If u catch them before they really go, one can use Flex Seal. I have and it works well. Couple coats, and all is well. I see RE 30 back there. That's what I got. The Best!!! U wanna sell them!!?? Guy across the street from me has the 38,s. But he,s destroyed the paper parts. When they go out, I snag them for you.
I have some AT80'S That are in good shape. I will be changing them out. As you will note yep over 30+ yrs. So I would like to donate them to your channel. So if you have an address I could send them to they will be sent out in a few months.
@Saving Vega's I am located in Kentucky. I would like for these 30+ yrs speakers to be well taken. And earn a spot on one of your restoration videos. I know with you they will have a great home.
I will probably have to have them delivered to a different location. I live on an acreage, my physical address is just a land location. Depending on how they are shipped most companies won't ship out here.
I do want to order from him but he doesn't have a very big selection. For me to pay to get them shipped up to Canada I kinda like wait tell I need multiple parts then order them all at once.
@@SavingVegas his glue is awesome and pretty much the same as simply speakers and cheaper his kits are made to spec where some kids have lighter cones in his surrounds are the right color some vendors are more pink than red orange. What are you looking for that he doesn't have because normally if he doesn't have it he'll steer you in the right direction he's good like that he doesn't care if you buy it from him as long as you get the right part he's a CV guy all the way
His stuff is available on Ebay? Maybe I am doing something wrong but when I search for his stuff on Ebay all that comes up is AT series recone kits and foam. At the moment I need some 122W2, 153W and L-122 recone kits.
Please follow up on my previous email about your restoration of your 211s. I had these in college. Are you interested in selling them after restoration? Thank you. Barry
I do plan on restoring these but unfortunately this project has been put on the back burner for now. I am not really set up for some of the woodwork that will be required to properly build the new cabinets to spec. When completed yes I probably will be selling them.
I actually have a pair of these babies in not much better condition and I'm SUPER APPRECIATIVE of this video. Thank you! 🙏
I sent my 211"s back to Cerwin Vega and had them re-coned. they sound as good as new.

As a collector of Old school Vegas.... I can never unsee that horror

One more thing. Id like to see you upgrade those crossovers. I have the same old capacitors on mine and I need to update them.

Love the content!
Great video! Does anyone know where I can find the same old-style speaker wire push connecters that are on 211's?
I would upgrade them rather than trying to find replacements.
be good to see them restored cool videos bro

@@SavingVegas lol. No there is very little info on these speakers. I have not seen very many if them at all. I'm curious how many were made.

Wow! That would awesome. Where abouts are you from? I'm in Saskatchewan Canada. Shipping speakers that big is usually pretty pricey.

Well I would be more than happy to have them and restore them.
@@SavingVegas outstanding. Just need an address.

look into Brew City Audio LLC He has great replacement parts recones refoams and hard to get CV parts
I do want to order from him but he doesn't have a very big selection. For me to pay to get them shipped up to Canada I kinda like wait tell I need multiple parts then order them all at once.

Steer
check with Mr Electricity vid
Reuse the old coil simple
Idk of its something electrical or what but there is a high frequency buzz in all your videos it makes them hard to watch
