Symptoms? Power light comes on and dims with correct microphone barking but not a peep, no hum, hiss.... or bark.
Diss-assembly was easy even after multiple beverages. Quick ohm check reveals 8 ohm horn speaker voice coil is open circuit.
Speaker seems to be a GE MPI-30 somewhat beefed up with metal bars on the edge and the swivel base removed.
Found an MPI-30 speaker online for about $25 & ordered
- Will update on repair soon.
Until then, quiet......
Speaker arrived - Cost about $27 including shipping. Decided rather that drilling holes to swap metal edge stiffener bars, just swapped out inner speaker cone. Total fix time was about 20min.
Works well - plugged external mike in and did my best Erol Oktay* impression - "just one more time .."
Sorry Kids - I dragged my feet as long as I could fixing the darn thing.
