Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo
You mentioned that there was only wood in the place where the threads should go. I just realized that the previous owner may have removed the metal threaded inserts-Why, I don't know. If this is the case, then you need to replace them in order to mount the spikes. Check out this link: https://www.amazon.com/Dayton-Audio-DSS2-BC-Chrome-Speaker/dp/B003BFWQIU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=... You need those things on the left. Or, maybe some T-Nuts: https://www.amazon.com/binifiMux-Pronged-Assortment-Carbon-T-Nuts/dp/B076VL9RM5/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&... Hopefully, the previous owner didn't enlarge the holes too much. With Wood filler and Wood Glue, you should be able to install them without much difficulty. B |
@ja_zz I just got your pics and I think I am correct. There should be a threaded insert inside the cabinet. It looks like the numbnuts previous owner over-tightened the spikes and when he removed them, he took out the inserts as well. No wonder why he 'lost' them. As I said, you need T nuts, better yet, call Johnny Rutan (send him the pics you sent me) or Mr. V. directly and I bet they will have the proper parts to fix it. Can you do it yourself, sure. BUT, why risk more problems? And, it looks like he broke off some of the bottom of the speaker where they attach. B |
Bob, I broke it a bit myself. I thought there were metal inserts and screwed the cones in without looking. My bad. However, rest of the thread is fine. And I can make the inserts if they are flat and fit into those depressions on the bottom. I will also request Richard for those spares. Can you guys please measure the gaps between the speaker bottom in front and back of the speakers and the floor? Thanks! |
