@@garygallagher7341 depending on the level of discharge, the moving assembly gets looser and sloppier from reduced flux density in the gap controlling the voice coil. Makes the frequency response look like a frown.
Wow it really works!! a gauss meter don't lie I really had to see this for myself - you say Alnicos fade, and sometimes ceramics too? Sadly I lost my Alinco 'Vintage' things in a big nasty (and illegal) uk Eviction, but wow I'm intrigued!
@@petegaslondon AlNiCo magnets lose charge. Ceramics typically don't. If a ceramic motor shifts/breaks loose causing the gap shift and clamp the voice coil, it's much easier to realign the gap after discharging the magnets. Working with live magnets is hazardous to fingers!...believe me😉🤣
