Hi listers

Last   week, I received the Ruby / MagicParts RRDJ16 replacement diaphragm I ordered in february at vibroworld.com :
www.vibroworld.com/parts/tech20.html#dia
"RRDJ16, Ruby 16-ohm, Phenolic replacement diaphragm for Jensen driver used in older Leslies"..

On the Magicparts site it is at  http://www.magicparts.com/new/reverb_cans.htm in " Organ and Leslie Parts"

The new part fitted exactly to the V21 Jensen driver of my 122 Leslie.The wiring leads have the same angle as the original one and I could solder it directly to the connections on the black bakelite piece.
All I had to do was to punch 2 additionnals screw holes into the border of the diaphragm with a belt punching plier.
It was easy to reassemble the driver and to center the coil.
Now the driver is working very fine, without distortion or any buzz.
It's realy a second life for this older Jensen driver and I'm happy to keep a vintage driver in my Leslie.

Unfortunately, if you are checking the vibroworld web site nowadays, the part seems not to be available at this time.
I hope the availability of this part will not be stoped by Ruby because it is a very good solution for those who want to repair their original Jensen drivers with a new phenolic diaphragm.
