| Now that I'm as far as I think I can go using the filters that came with this 105 set (following Guru's advise, Thank You Sir) I am pleased as punch with what they can do with good material.
I have ... |

How so very interesting there should be so many incarnations. Just tweaking along the way, or do you think because of varying characteristics between driver productio ... |

| If anyone here should be interested, here's what the nearly complete restoration of my 105's looks like.
I do have the original full size cloth covered shrouds in good condition, but somehow I prefer ... |

I can't thank you enough for your patience and generosity taking the time to both assist and educate me. It' ... |

| BTW .... Jerry (Falcon) seems to be aware of this configuration.
The cap set he sent me was an exact duplicate of what's shownin on the board as found (by me(. As you can see from the photo.  |

| Yes. I know exactly what you're talking about with the 105 crossover mounting and component layout.
What you describe is precisely the same as the 2 pairs of 105's I have had the pleasure of restori ... |

| It would seem to me that if the board had not been modified with the cut in the trace then the circuit would have been : 30uF series, 0.028mH to ground, then 3.3uF series, 0.35uF to ground, 7uF series ... | |

Note the etched trace on the left side. I have not attempted to decipher that revision, but everything seems to function as it should, ... |

| MAYBE .... someone saw that crossover configuration on-line somewhere and decided this filter was incorrectly made? Then added the 30uF to match?
That seems feasible. It doesn't explain the etched ... |

| It's possible the input for the hf section was taken after the 30uF capacitor in the MF circuit. That could work, as 30uF is pretty much a short circuit at tweeter frequencies, but I can't think why i ... | |

I first reinstalled the aB circuit. Both sides test audibly very c ... |

So there it is. my filter exactly (minus the aB) and it was the Mark ! version sporting it. This is wonderful information, I'm so glad to know my crossover is not s ... |

I've been up and down all 105 crossover configurations, and actually have a set of 105/2 ... |

I guess then my questions are: How crucial is the value of that cap. In my case a 30uF. And, can I assume that inductor ... |
