How do I upgrade an old column

We have available here are the little old PC Speaker Orbit 35AS-216 factory Yantar (already scary thought!) 1984 issue, purchased in student days at the "big money" felled in the construction team. Here they are! Pzhlsta!
And it kind of, so to speak, in the back.

Speakers pretty dull gray and rather dull, by modern standards, sounds. Red price them very razbazarny day not more than 100 green pindosovskih rubles. Source Knowledge internet suggested a way to improve the performance characteristics of the speaker system and bring it closer in quality and price to 500-600 Baksova acoustics.
So - "proceed" - in the words of Fyodor in the famous old movie about the adventures of Shurik on a construction site.
First of all, remove the lattice dynamics, switches on the back wall board with a filter. It turned out this. Two gutted patient.

We reach then a glass of midrange head, Tubes (the two black pipe bottom) and two cotton sausages.
Then paste over the outside film "under the tree", fasten the plastic on the bottom corner and we place "patient" relax.

In short, I thrice stupid))) pictures of large format, I do not climb schA their pochikal



This is the year of issue of columns)))



Here the patient at rest)))



We examine the dynamics determined by the polarity of conclusions. Midrange 15GD-11A is in the middle to replace shirokopolosnika 6GDSH-8-4 (it is higher).



Speakers are set aside. After that gloss over all the cracks in the housing and paste sealant inside the inner surface of the felt thickness of 1, 5 cm. The lower part of the body where the subwoofer, paste in 2 layers. Install the spacer between the front and rear wall in the "devil's bridge" between the midrange and woofer. Spacer paste is also felt. Felt from the body expels all parasitic standing waves. Since inside the enclosure should not be personal.
Then proceed to the revision of the filter. Here it rodimenky on the operating table with a bunch of wires connecting it to the switches. Replace all the wires on the filter on audioprovod OFC. Throw away unnecessary switches (ruining the sound on the vine), throw out unnecessary resistance payaem where you have to use our favorite blue electrical tape.



More sensitive Belim, paint, saw off and fasten the updated filter to the rear of the column, which already papered felt.



The holes on the back side of the case, the rest of the switches Chopik hammered, plastered sealant.



Glass Tubes midrange head and felt the same paste.



Then we set the dynamics in the housing through the rubber seals. Solder them to the filter as audioprovodom, solder cable from the amp directly to the filter. Insert Tubes, sealing. The filter felt close. Something starts to turn.



Fasten the heaviest subwoofer. Pre-painted and whitewashed. Steel columns 4 kilograms heavier. Prishpandorivaem side of the handle. Fu! Wipes the sweat from his forehead and looks around what happened. And that's what happened.



Well, the most crucial moment. We invite independent experts. There they are, evil individuals, sit estimate.

According to independent experts: 1) it was almost invisible "mumbling" woofer, 2) the "lower classes" were softer, polished, 3) there mids, clearly was the division of the stereo channels, 4), the sound was "transparent", there was the effect of "presence" 6) could hear the sound of the tools previously available to perception 7) Create a "scene", it appeared the depth of the hall.
Look like that's it. The first photos from "dull" column stole from the network, because its already were covered with foil.
