Orange OBC 210 Tweeter Loose

[RnRDave]

Hello all, I just picked up a bargain cab. 

 

Unfortunately during transit the tweeter has become loose. Upon opening the cab it looks like it should just screw back in but it doesn't. Any way I can secure it? Glue it in? Replacement tweeter housing?

 

Open to any advice/suggestions.

Looks like it’s threaded ? But perhaps the threads are stripped ?

 

Superglue back in place would maybe work

Before superglue...

check its not a LH thread...

Maybe try a light wrap with ptfe plumbers tape if ya have any knocking about... at least it will come back out if needs be.

Great idea. Will give this a go first before any 'permanent' solutions ha.

I can't tell if those are threads or just ribs but either way it appears that the horn is stripped to the point that it won't hold. I'd use epoxy to secure it. There should never be a need to separate them, as a replacement driver and horn would come as a unit. Do not use superglue, it can destroy some plastics.

Six weeks or so later what was the result??

PTFE tape seems to be holding it true. Although it hasn't moved much in 6 weeks.

I'm glad you got it sorted Dave.
