I've come into possession of a pair of Wharfedale Glendale 3 speakers, dating back to the early 1970s (as pictured https://www.petervis.com/gallery/Vintage%20Advertisements/wharfedale-hi-fi/wharfedale-glendale-3.html ) One speaker has a bad woofer that I think is beyond fixing.

I've been following second-hand sites for months hoping to snag a golden deal but I've not found any steal. I'm considering repurposing these cabinets with new woofers/tweeters/crossovers as I do like audio and diy.

I'm asking mostly for a sanity check: is this a good or bad idea? Are there any proven designs that I might be able to get great results with in these cabinets?

So Marc Marquez is back in Jerez and seems intent on racing come Sunday.

I don't think he'll manage to finish that race, if he even starts in it.

I'm mainly thinking of the stress one's arms endure while braking. Hard braking from 300+ km/h to speeds low enough to negotiate those turns with a freshly broken arm... doing it for 20+ laps... I just don't think it can be done.

I may be wrong though.

What does r/motogp think?

My Unicomp model m is having a rough time. The m key was the first to go, next were y and u, 6 and 7 have been flaky and the space bar is now in on it as well.

After opening up the keyboard and poking around a bit with the excellent r/mk wiki in hand, I seem to have located the source of the problem.

The controller at the top right of the keyboard is simply pressing down on the membrane in order to make contact.

When m is acting up, I've found that pressing down on the controller to improve its contact with the membrane fixes things. That is, until I stop pressing.
