How To Repair Teuck Cab

1. So I've got this 70's B-25B chiffonier with the original speakers, and I go to apply it today to make sure information technology's cool for a gig, and when I put the full V4B make clean volume to information technology, it had a nasty rattle that I hadn't heard before. The cab'due south been sitting in a non-climate controlled covered space (my shop building) through many years of sopping-moist southern summers and now a very dry out, very common cold winter. I'm guessing the joints are all cleaved and loose, or at least some of them.

   So here's the problem - is there any style to gear up this matter since information technology's sealed upward by style of the tolex, does non have a removable dorsum console, and it looks similar it'southward gum and staple structure? I'grand guessing I'd have to take off the tolex and basically have it all the manner apart to try and put it dorsum together correct again with glue and screws? That does not brand me happy.

   Merely, hither's the thing. That cabinet and those speakers - minus the rattle - were freaking amazing. I want it to work and non just replace it.

   Whatsoever communication?

   Thank you,
   Chris

5. Woah! Don't do all that notwithstanding. The old Marshall cab I had in 1964 (no I don't withal have information technology - everybody asks that) had a lot of screws and cup washers - those are the sort of washers that look similar a u profile and the countersink part of the screw goes into the washer and the edge of the washer is raised - someone will mail a picture I'm sure. Work out where the bracing is and use contumely screws and brass cup washers to tighten it all up. If yous go all the spiral heads to be symetrically measured out it can look pretty cool. In fact at that place are cabs that do information technology this way new.

9. You could remove the speakers and whatever batting (if there is any in the cab) and use something like PVA glue, thin it a flake with h2o the allow it meet all the joints from the inside.
   Are y'all certain that the rattling is not from a speaker, having a partly detached spider or cone border.

13. I have a V4B Cab And a V4b and information technology was ratteling similar crazy because of a blown speaker . As well while information technology was apart I re-glued the joints I could get at with the speakers removed. At present it is doesn't brand any racket that it is not supposed to.

18. It could exist someting inside ane of the drivers, nether the dustcap. In my erstwhile cab, a piece of the leads that go into the cone of the commuter came loose and was stuck behind the dustcap, giving a rattling noise. If thats the case y'all'll have to remove the dustcap.

22. Could be a couple of simple things.
    One or more of the plastic grippers on the grill cloth frame may have come united nations-glued, which will crusade a nasty rattle.

    Check that the speaker bolts are tight

    Both are quite common and like shooting fish in a barrel to check without screwing up anything.

    Things in dust caps is a stretch and similar something (nut) between the cone and frame cause a buzz non a rattle.

    Total disclosure, I'm a certified Fender technician working in a music store that carries Fender, Yamaha, and Ibanez products among others.

    At that place are lots of techniques for "tightening" up loose cabinets, two of which are mentioned here (additional screws, and watered-down glue.) I'd go with watering down the glue, getting a furniture-maker's syringe from woodcraft.com to make certain it gets into the joints, and then clamp it up for a 24-hour interval before re-installing the speakers.

    Git yer Google on and check out some furniture repair techniques. There's no need to disassemble the affair, or even remove the tolex.

    That's all assuming that it isn't just a couple of loose screws letting the speaker cones rattle, of course.

30. Lots of good ideas. Cheers dudes!

34. As well check the electronics and connectors. Tracked down a pesky rattle on an former pair of Carvin PA speakers to the old style cannon input/output plugs [the parallel 1/iv" phono connectors were fine]. Stock-still em with a shot form the trusty hot gum gun [never used em anyway - anytime I'll convert em to speakons].

38. Not certain that this matters but the B25 cab is or was rated at16 ohms and designed to use with the 55 watt B25 amp.The V4B's put out 8-four- or 2 ohms and 100 watts. Could exist a blown speaker.

42. Nah, mine'southward a afterward 1 that has the 4/16 ohm switch and then it tin can be used with V4B or B25B. All the same might me a diddled speaker, but I'm pretty sure it's a woods-on-forest rattle. I'm going to remove the speakers and insulation and use the thinned out wood mucilage trick on every unmarried joint in the animal and encounter how that goes.

    Stone,

47. After re-flowing glue into all the joints over the last few days and putting the speakers dorsum in today, the rattle sounded pretty much the aforementioned. Then I had my son bang on my bass while I moved my ears around and I'1000 pretty sure it's blown or rattling speakers. At least that's what I promise it is.
