Acoustat 2+2's help needed please
Hi,
I have 2+2's that haven't been hooked up for approx 20 years. When last moved the housing was not secured and the wiring pulled away from the spade lugs. There is also a pin that I can't for the life of me figure out where it goes.
Would any of you guys be willing to help me figure out how these get reconnected? I used/will use an Aragon 2002 amp for them fwiw.
Thanks!

Hi,
I took a closer look and the red piece for the pin is there so I am good. Glasses played a big part in that discovery lol. I look forward to getting them back up and running again in the future, I hope to move in the next year or two but not enough room currently to set them up. Another question, the socks have really suffered as my children grew up around them and you know how that goes. I was thinking when the time comes to have a seamstress make new ones with fabric I supply. Can you advise on what/where to choose? Lastly, the original owner did not like the wood platform and replaced with thin acrylic sheet. It would always drive me mad as they appeared to tilt forward a little due to the acrylic being so flexible. I would like to get proper wood back, can you provide the dimensions I would need to have new ones made? I have searched for the years for any originals platforms being sold but never have seen them come up. Any chance you live anywhere near N.E. Ohio
Again, thank you very much for responding!! |
The socks originally came from Ren & Shirley at The Upholstery Company in Mesa, Arizona, but they retired a few years ago...GREAT people, btw. I bought this and had my daughter-in-law make them for me. I gave her an original one off my speakers and she used it as a template. They have some cheaper fabric, but you can see through it, which I didn’t like. Some have said this thicker fabric blocks some of the sound, but I found that to be complete poppycock! You need 6 linear yards to do both speakers, so kinda expensive, but mine came out looking brand new. It only comes in Black. The thinner, cheaper stuff has different colors. Do you have the larger interfaces with the supports, or the smaller box? Mine are the larger ones. The bases are different. Sorry, I live in Northern Colorado or I’d be more than happy to help in person. Good luck! |
Here are the bases if you have the larger boxes: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650112163-acoustat-22-bases/ You can see they have a unique cut out, (actually they are a double layer towards the front for added support for the panels. 22 x 21 x 1. If the interfaces are the smaller ones: https://reverb.com/item/40237142-vintage-acoustat-model-2-two-electrostatic-panel-speakers-mk-121-b These are just a flat base. 22 x 17 x 1. |
