How to repair bottom diaphragm connection of Eminent Technology LFT8 planar speakers

Some good ideas, but nothing worked for me like a new diaphragm. The fact that it’s a midrange and has a relatively low crossover with a lot of vibration, the repair I made became intermittent again. Good luck and hope it works. Keep the volume as low as possible to reduce the severity of vibration until the glue has cured for a week.

By the way, nice loudspeaker! An overlooked little gem. Only a little more $ than the Maggie 1.7i, and imo quite a bit better.

         "I ordered a conductivity pen with silver ink which looks similar to the items shown above."

          "So I will need multiple layers to build up the connection to touch the bottoms of the 6 screw posts."

           The products mentioned above have a much higher viscosity (they're thicker) than conductive ink or paint.    Then: there's the fact that epoxies are manufactured for binding things together (adhesion).

            A small dab, on each contact point would do the trick

            Personally: I'd use pieces of 3M #06383* (or something thinner), to hold things together.

            Not much of an investment, far as an experiment, before springing for a new panel.

I would like to try repairing the connection first to see if this works.

Should work fine with the conductive paint as there's no movement there, different story if it was on the middle of the panel where's there lots of movement
I fixed some ML ESL's with the same problem using the conductive paint worked fine never gave any trouble after that.

If I'm seeing what I'm seeing, the middle contact doesn't just hit the END of the trace. LOOK close it touches the trace on both sides too.

I'm wondering if the insulation was stripped away or added. I'd be looking and either re insulate or clean before your repair. I don't see a problem as long as the traces don't tough where they're not suppose to and DO where they did before..

Way to many great glues for that to ever come apart and if you did want to take it back apart glue it with silicone. At least that won't come apart and adds great vibration and heat control.. Silicone is good stuff.

High temp silicone is conductive clear is not.. Not all silicones are pure.
