Recone an SSD 12"

[xLogan225x 5]

I am about to recone my SSD 12". I get the basic idea of how to recone, but not sure how to center the coil and dustcap. Any ideas/tips/advice? I'm kinda nervous about doing it myself because this will be a first time for me. Any help is needed.

What did you do to it?

Use notecards cut into strips, and place them around the pole piece evenly, then glue the spiders down, etc.

I blew it the other day.

May I ask how? I am curious that is all.

Just pushing it to hard for too long. It was my fault, not Fi's. It burnt where the tensil leads meet the terminals. From what I can see the coil isn't burnt though.

Correction on my last post:

One of the leads between the spiders burnt

It feels good, I promise.

And as Duran stated, you can use notecards as shims for centering the coil.

Make sure you get everything super clean and free of the old glue.

I know what you mean now, I cut it up a few days ago. the first cut was hard, but after that it was a breeze, lol
