Thanks Simon! I didn't think anybody had noticed. Did you spot the sledge hammer too? Andy T.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

And I wonder why The Stig always keeps his helmet on?

Good caricatures though. Sometimes it's handy to know what other forum members look like. For example Lee's avatar has never actually shown his face.

I then, ever so gently pulled any large pieces of foamrot away from the cone itself.

Next I started working on the speaker frame. I did this with a blunt Stanley knife. The whole Knife was too bulky so I removed the blade and held it in some folded up kitchen roll. It took about 45 minutes to go round the frame, milimeter by milimeter! I always kept a thumb or an index finger between the blade and the cone so as not to have any little

After I had removed the bulk of the foamrot from the gaskets I dipped some cotton-wool in meth's and cleaned the residue with that. It came off quite easily but still felt tacky so I put them in the sink with some Fairy liquid and scrubbed them with a nail brush. Perfect!

Ah! That's better. I can use loads of these kitchen rolls and keep changing them. Any body guess what the little black square thing is that keeps cropping up on my photo's?

Now the laborious job of getting rid of it. For these gaskets I have decided to scrape them with a small screw driver. Here is my first mistake. The nasty black stuff is like wet tar and I was scraping it onto the sheet. This meant I was going to be working in my own mess. It can't be brushed up and the brushy bit of the vacuum wouldn't lift
