The scarcity of good, honest techs who can do good and reasonably priced restoration/rebuild of audio equipment inspired me to create this restoration kit. In today’s day and age, it is difficult to find a knowledgeable technician who can service your audio gear properly. I have seen many poor quality restorations of equipment that cost way too much for their owners. In 99% of the cases, only a few parts were replaced, instead of a full and proper restoration job.A proper restoration must replace all electrolytic capacitors on all boards. Do not fall for partial kits that restore just one PCB (power supply, power amp, etc.). This is not a good or proper way to restore your audio equipment. It is the same as with car tires; one should never replace just one tire and keep the other worn-out tires on. A proper rebuild requires a full recap of all PCBs.On the other hand, if one succeeds in finding a good tech, the wait time is usually 6-12 months for the unit to be serviced, and costs are sky-high. I have been servicing audio equipment for many years and have developed deep respect for all good equipment. Knowing how amazing and warm these units can sound, I decided to put together this kit. It includes very good upgrades and improvements that must be done to the unit. This restoration kit will make a huge difference in the sound quality. All the parts are of high-quality Japanese Nichicon / Rubycon / IC / United Chemi capacitors.I am extremely particular about the quality of the parts provided in this kit. Knowing how many bogus/fake caps, diodes, resistors, etc. are out there, I source all the parts from reputable wholesalers and buy them in bulk. Vintage audio equipment has the potential to deliver rich and authentic sound when it is properly restored. Not only can it enhance your listening experience, but it can also evoke memories and bring joy to your life. Let’s work together to bring your vintage gear back to its full potential, and make sure you have the music you deserve. ♩♬♫♪♫♩♬ “They Shall Have Music”- Avery FisherIncluded in this kit: 1. Power/Filter stage capacitors (Nichicon / Nippon / United Chemi) electrolytic capacitors. 2. Detailed instruction with colorful images, schematics, manuals (all of these are in electronic form, I consider these much better than printed version due to zoom availability). 3. Schematics 4. Complete audio path upgrade with high quality US made (IC) or Nippon audio grade film capacitors. 5. Parts for compete recap of all the electrolytic capacitors. 6. Complete recap of all PCBs. 7.

Re-spider repair kit for Cerwin Vega Fits almost every 12″ with 2″ coil
Re-spider kit for the 12″ woofer. Red over gray foam like original. Includes a 4 piece shim pack, and everything else pictured. This will fit 99% of Cerwin 12″ woofers that use the common 2″ voice coil. If you have a woofer like the 121-4 which uses a 1.5″ voice coil, I have the spiders for that too. Just message me when you buy, and I’ll make sure to put that spider in your kit. This kit is enough for 1 speaker. This kits has the 3.75″ dustcap. If you need the 4.5″ dustcap, let me know and I’ll pack that one. If you need a kit for a 15″ woofer let me know. If you aren’t sure if this will fit your woofer, let me know what woofer you have and we will make sure. Some speakers came with different woofers, and many speakers have had woofers swapped out over their lifetimes, so popping the woofer out and getting the model off the woofers is the best way to verify, rather than speaker model. Also included is a sheet of tips and suggestions from decades of experience, along with my personal phone number should you have an issue. If you have any questions, or want a specific bunch of parts put together for you, let me know. I’m here to help and happy to put together any combination of parts you need. 20+ years on Ebay, selling mostly speaker related stuff, and mostly Cerwin Vega, with 100% positive feedback.

15″ Refoam + spider Kit for Cerwin Vega 217r and many HED models, options
I can customize this kit if desired. As pictured, it is designed to repair the woofers on speakers like the 1st version 217R with the 153 woofer which had gray foam, tan gaskets, and plain dustcaps, and was mounted inside the cabinet. There was also a very different second version of the 217R which had one tweeter instead of two on the front. Most of the woofers in these old-but-gold speakers seem to be needing spiders, so this kit includes new spiders, and the tan gaskets they used on the “inside mount” woofers. This kit will fit most woofers that used the flat attach foams, however Cerwin made many design variations and part substitutions with their speakers, and Heppner (the company that built the woofers for cerwin vega) did the same. So, going by speaker model, and/or woofer model, isn’t always enough. The BEST way to verify parts and fitment, is to check with me, and I will probably ask for pictures. Some steel framed woofers used a taller spider. And a picture will let me know. If you prefer red (red over gray actually) foam, let me know and I’ll substitute it for you. If you prefer dustcaps with the logo, let me know and I’ll put those in instead. This kit comes with 3035 glue for the foams, black glue for the dustcaps, and epoxy for the spider. Also included is a sheet of tips and suggestions from decades of experience, along with my personal phone number should you have an issue. If you have any questions, or want a specific bunch of parts put together for you, let me know. I’m here to help and happy to put together any combination of parts you need. 20+ years on Ebay, selling mostly speaker related stuff, and mostly Cerwin Vega, with 100% positive feedback.

15″ DVC! Dual 4 ohm recone kit for Cerwin Vega DCW15 DC15 1515
These are the correct DUAL VOICE COIL recone kits for the DCW15 woofer used in the DC15 and 1515 Cerwin Vega speakers. The “DC” in the name actually referenced the fact that the woofers were dual voice coil, and the crossovers actually split the signal and ran different frequencies to each coil. Up till now, all the kits listed for these woofers all used the DLP (dual lead parallel coils, which are different. DLP coils and only have one set of leads. These have dual sets of leads to recone and re-hook up properly. These have the older style red/red foams but are in perfect shape. I came across a large number of old stock recone kits for Cerwin Vega. Strokers, 18″ woofers, and misc. Most of these are pre-2010. Kits have changed over the years, and not always for the better. I’ll be listing everything including some tasty rare bits over the next few weeks. If you have any questions, I’m always here and happy to help.

10″ Recone Kit for Cerwin Vega DX3 DXW10 DXW-10 woofer 8 ohms
10″ 8 ohm recone lit for the models listed. Kits include everything in the picture including 4 piece shim kit which allows accurate shimming of any coil. Notes: These new 10″ cones look and fit great, with red over gray foam like most originals, however these cones do have what looks like a slight watermark. It is a slight color/dot distortion from the mold. It’s not terrible, but it is there, and my entire production run has this. I tried to detail it in the picture. Really only visible in certain lighting, but I wanted to point it out. Also, with many of this series woofers, they came originally with several different spiders. The most common was the 5.9″, and this kit includes that common size. Some came with a spider with a smaller 4.9″ OD. I do have those spiders if you want them. Just let me know when you order, and I’m happy to substitute those in your kit. I’ll include enough epoxy, and glues to do your woofer. If you order multiple kits, I’ll include bigger bottles of glue. One epoxy will do two woofers. Black glue for dustcap and lead wires, white glue for foam to frame. Most 10″ cerwin woofers used the 2.75″ dustcap, so that is included. I have seen a few with the 3.75″ dustcap, so if you want that size, just message me when you order, and I’m happy to substitute those for you. Also included is a sheet of tips and suggestions from decades of experience, along with my personal phone number should you have an issue.

15″ 4 Ohm Recone Kit for Cerwin Vega ATW-15 ATW15 (At-15) woofer ribbed cone
Recone kit for the Cerwin Vega ATW-15. These were developed specifically, exactly, for this woofer. Lightweight ribbed cone like the original. Red over gray foam like original. All new high precision voice coils, on ALUMINUM formers like the originals, and DLP wound like the originals. (DLP is dual lead parallel) Several years, and more recones than I can count went into developing these to provide kits that not only take the pounding that I know you’re going to give them, but also match the t/s parameters of the originals. Kits include everything in the picture. Shims available on request. Second picture shows a woofer reconed with this kit. (woofer not included) Also included is a sheet of tips and suggestions from decades of experience, along with my personal phone number should you have an issue.
