An update before Xmas.
I've taken a shortcut as the dent puller kit never arrives. I found this beauty, actually it found me as the owner replied on my wanted ad, and it arrived a couple of days ago.
It's cosmetically almost perfect with just a minor dent in a dust cap. The internals are dead. After just over two hours, two speakers were dismantled, internals were switched and both speakers were assembled. Only the hard part resides, the gluing of the dust caps. I'm almost getting efficient! The Frankenphantom internals are now doing their duty in the new speaker, and I am out of Phantom projects at the moment. Picture break!
I have no idea where to use it, maybe as a garden speaker next summer to terrorise the neighbours? It's not upgradable to DOS2 but I can connect it to Roon via AirPlay and play insanely loud polka until my neighbour's kids stop playing sh**tty music all day long while sunbathing. As we have three days of nice weather every summer, the speaker will be lightly used.
Until the next Phantom project emerges, merry Christmas to you all!
Oh, I just remembered, I have a broken v1 remote I could try to fix. Nice to have another project.
