Changing The Fabric Of Your Vintage Speakers And Changing The Surrounds
Revamping My Four (4) Large Advent Speakers Changing The Fabric On the Large Advent Speakers This year I decided to put my Advents back in full working order. I own four Original Large Advents. Two of them were in storage for over 2 years, the other two were functional in the living room. I started by cosmetics. Not only was the fabric stained and discoloured, the cats had a field day piercing little holes in them.... The result were speakers that had lost their mojo. So I decided it was time to change the old fabric on the speakers. Since I intended to restore all 4 speakers and stack them, I had to make them look good as well as making them fully functional. So, I bought fabric. I looked around and tried to find a fabric that would look good on vintage speakers. Of course this had to done without braking the bank, I could always change them again later.

Akai GX-4000D Tape deck speed sleeve
The GX-4000D speed sleeve explained and illustrated! Here are a few photos showing the infamous GX-4000D speed sleeve. This sleeve is actually 2 pieces, the sleeve itself and the screw that holds it in position. I had to clean it a little as it was difficult to pull out of its "resting post" inside the head cover. These parts allow you, when installed to change speeds on the GX from 3 3/4 to 7 1/2. Without these parts, the machine can only run on the slower speed setting. They are stored on a special post inside the head cover, when you want to change speeds it is taken off that post and installed on the guide post of the tape as shown in the photo.
