Author Topic: Altec Lansing 288 diaphragm replacement question. Eric Robinson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 538 From: Santa Rosa, CA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 08-31-2005 12:55 PM                     I have two high frequency drivers (below) 288-16K Serial# 01881 (Broken Diaphragm) 288-16H Serial# 00916 (Broken Diaphragm) additionally I have a Altec Lansing Diaphragm Voice Coil Replacement Assembly Part# 23834 Can I use the replacement coil on either of the drivers listed above? If so, do I need a kit (spider shim) also? Thanks in advance, Eric Robinson  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The 23834 is the 16-Ohm replacement diaphragm for all 288C and later drivers (228B drivers need to be modified). Older drivers (that have screw terminals on the diaphragm itself) will need a kit to use the newer style push-on connector and shorter non-ferrous screws. One can solder the existing wires directly to the push-on tabs and cut down the existing screws to avoid buying the kit. [ 09-01-2005, 01:19 AM: Message edited by: Steve Guttag ]  |  IP: Logged
