It is best not to try a DYI rebuild on older Tympani’s.
One other problem is the wood frame warping on Magnepans made before 1987.
In 1987 the IIIa was the first Magnepan that did not have frames that warped, and they solved the delimitation problem, mostly, (if you keep them out of sunlight).
Magnepan still rebuilds the old Tympani speakers (replacing everything but the frames) and they will not delaminate.
Let the factory do it right, and not try to save money.
