[Elecraft] K1 #1675 speaker problems

[Paul J. Beckmann]

Wow! I didn't realize how touchy speakers can be!

Thanks to all who sent me their ideas on my speaker distortion. I removed
the speaker, looked for tears under a 10X stereo microscope I have: No
tears. I looked at the wires and terminals for rubs: None of those either. I
re-bent the terminals up to where they were, re-soldered the terminals and
hooked it back up (but without the top; just along side the K1) Bent the
frame just the littlest bit and the distortion went away. Carefully put
everything back together with my fingers crossed. Sounds great!

I'm having a blast already! Now on to the solar battery charger!

Whew-who!

P.S. That KAT1 sure makes a buzz of relays when it's a-workin'!
