Title: Replacement Speaker For NC183DTS Post by: W3ON on October 07, 2019, 01:42:49 PM Hello
Does anyone have information on the speaker used in the National NC183DTS Speaker? I suspect the speaker is a: Mid-Range, 10 inch, 8 ohm, round 10 watt speaker. If that is so, I have been looking for a replacement for the speaker. The NC183DTS speaker that I purchased had several small tears in the cone. I tried repairing the tears using methods described on YouTube, etc. If I can't find a replacement, I may end up trying to replace the cone. Any advice would be appreciated. 73 de Chuck W3ON Title: Re: Replacement Speaker For NC183DTS Post by: K8DI on October 07, 2019, 09:52:34 PM There still exist speaker reconing shops. For a reasonable fee they'll put an appropriate cone in there that is brand new.
Not sure where you are, but this is the one around here: https://circuitshop-com.3dcartstores.com/About-Us_ep_7.html (https://circuitshop-com.3dcartstores.com/About-Us_ep_7.html) in Caledonia, MI Have used them for about 30 years.

Thanks for the information. I will take a look at that company. I am going to try one more thing today. I am going to reverse the leads on the speaker to see if I might have the connecting wires connected wrong. I listened to a local 10 meter net last evening, without my DSP device (a timewave 599) connected. I did detect some distortion on the received signal. |
