Members electrafied Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 A while back I picked up an old Mesa halfback 4x12 without being able to plug it in first (don't know how old it is). Everything looked to be OK with the speakers, but once I got it home I discovered that the MC-90s up top didn't work at all, and the VS-12s on bottom, while they worked, both had rips in the cones that I didn't notice when I inspected them. I'm not too concerned about the VS-12s, but I'd like to save the MC90s if possible. The cones on the MC90s are pretty beat up and dirty, but seem sound, no tears or anything that looks like it could become one. But they don't produce any sound. Putting an ohmmeter across the leads yields no reading, but I do get a reading if I put the test leads on the wires down near where they enter the voice coil. So maybe they can just be re-wired, or worse case fully re-coned. Is it worth doing this, or is it a better route just to get new (or used) ones to replace them?

Members thefyn Posted August 13, 2009 Members Share Posted August 13, 2009 not worth the expense IMO. Sell them on ebay as broken. You will still get some cash for them and put that towards used ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
