Tweeter problem but not polyswitch

[jasonkodat]

Hello all,

I've searched a bit. My mids are fine. Both tweeters worked in the one speaker (they're Monitor 5's) but neither tweeter worked in the other speaker, so I called and ordered polyswitches. They came in and I opened up my crossover.

Voila, no polyswitch at all on my crossover.

Is there something else I can check or am I just better off replacing the whole crossover at this point?

Thanks,
Jason

Check the fuse on the binding post plate.

F1nut,

The fuse was the first thing I checked since they're outside, and it didn't look blown, so I ignored it. It must've just been making bad contact, I swapped the fuses and now both tweeters work.

<sigh> And to think I could have avoided pulling out all my hair just by doing one more swap... :)

Thanks.

Ah ha!

I'm glad it was a simple fix. You might want to go back and clean the fuse ends (or buy new ones) and the clips really well. I'm sure they have plenty of oxidation after all these years.

Memo to self: Always check the easiest thing first....

I've looked a fuses and not seen breaks at the extreme end of them. So now I check them with my trusty, old Rat Shack VOM...

Glad you're back in the tunes, jasonkodat. A pencil eraser will clean the fuse ends and fuse clips up quite nicely...
