Opening base on Quad ESL-2805
« on: 31 Oct 2013, 04:32 pm »
My preamp sent a nasty through my system and one speaker has failed. Two local techs who have worked on Quad 63s said they would take a look at it for me. Actually, one is not quite local--3 hours away.  He requested guts pics.

I cannot get the base open.  It is a Chinese-made puzzle. Apparently the 2805 assembly is sufficiently different from the Q63 that my tech support is also puzzled.

I won't go into details of what I have tried since anyone with actual experience will already know how I have failed.  My question is do I take the top cover off or the bottom cover and how do I do that?

Desperate here, no speaker no fun.  I really want to get this repaired locally since shipping would be very $$$$ and a royal pain fraught with danger.

Thanks for any help.

Nobody?
You might have to write Quad on this one, I'm afraid.
