Thank you for watching the video. please support me. Thanks you very much. love everyone.
I would’ve thought there was no chance those speakers could be repaired. That was truly amazing.
Repaired is an understatement, rebuild. I wonder what remained from Bose, just the magnets and plastic cases.
@Itznun Yabizness /
Is it legal to build up cheap speakers and sell it as a BOSE speaker because of few branded plastic sticked to them? I'm sure the price will go up a lot because he say its BOSE where it isn't. It's not hate, I just don't wanna be the person who buy this cheap shit thinking its BOSE one. And they will burn soon or sound quality won't let me to enjoy them as much as I expect and paid.
The second you remove the speaker coils you destroy the woofer, this is not a restoration buddy, this is simply repurposing an item, I have watched many of his videos, and I must say he is truly talented given the right parts he do a fine restoration 👌
They werent "repaired" 😁 These brand new speakers with a few original plastic parts. They probably sound better than 301's ever did.🤣
As a professional sound installer I installed no end of these back in the day in restaurants, bars, kids clubs etc, and had no end of issues especially with the bass drivers burning out. After re-visiting a number of installations several times to replace the drivers with genuine Bose units we eventually opted for a cheaper generic driver and never had a moment's problem afterwards. I always thought they were overpriced and under-engineered, though they sounded sort of 'OK' when they worked. Venues only wanted to install them because of the badge on the front.
sure. Bose, Sony, Shure, Seymour and Duncan etc, all famous brands are overpriced. You can get the Chinese knock-offs and they work well enough.
I don't agree with you, I believe you don't think about the durability time! I have a bose 3 acousmatic and they are no less than 27 years old, what equipment lasts all this time and costs little? You also didn't take into account the project costs to develop the product. Regarding the burning of the component, it was definitely a poorly applied volume!
@@sentrapeus my old Orion speakers (made in Hungary) are over 4o years this year, they still work nicely.
@@sentrapeus "project costs to develop the product" Yeah must have been some serious engineering to design the crossover in those speakers.
Sorry but Bose has a very bad reputation in professional audio (one of the worse).
@@sentrapeus ah yes, designing a tiny little cube that can handle power well, and then putting power through it to make it sound decent takes lots of R&D
Nice job! I have had a pair of Bose 301s since 1979 when I bought them at Macys on an American military base in the middle of the Pacific. Repaired them once when foam and diaphram started to decay, they are still my main speaker now!
I had a pair either from 78 or 79. They had the reflector that you can turn yourself. To this day I have no idea where they went. I currently have a pair of 601 which need replacement woofers. They used to be a store near me that sold them, They no longer carry them. I either need to find a recone kit or find someone to repair them for me
From Kwajalein base right?
Nice job keeping them out of a landfill, they have a nice room filling sound.
I'm sad for you.for this years😔
You used loud distorted music.
I bet if you hear from another speaker you will fall in love again with music 😍
Try B&W😊
Bose are awful. They don't have crossover and depend on heavy e.q .
That's why the unit between speakers and amp.
It's an equaliser
@Grooby sorry I was writing in a hurry 😊
English is my second language. And not so good in writing 😔
.
But what I'm saying is true 😉
There is so much love going into this. Great to see that this craftsmanship still exists!
It's a fast and cheap repair. He got two pot glue on the cone. He built very cheap enclosures, no double baffle. Then he slaps the old Bose plastic surrounds on and will sell them as Bose and not what they are - cheap standard enclosure with a cheap cone - not up to Bose standard (Bose used to be good...these days...not so much). This place is repairing and flipping broken electronics for a quick profit. There is absolutely no craftmanship in what he did.
Still using it. My dad bought this in mid 90’s and up today still working. Still sounds great. The bass is amazing.
Same here... Bought it in 98 and still using. Now thinking of restoring the cabinet.
LOL
Excelente trabalho, uma pena que aqui no Brasil é muito difícil encontrar pessoas competentes para fazer um trabalho deste. A Série 301 da Bose é uma obra prima em qualidade em reprodução.
BOSE 시리즈중에는 301... 101 ..201 ...901등 국내에서 많이 인기좋은 명품인데 우퍼쪽고장은 엣지교환이나 재생해서 사용하는데 되도록이면 자연스런 원음 특성을 살리기 위해 수리이력없는 원품을 구해서 사용합니다...
통까지 직접만들어서 복원해 내는 모습이 열정적이고 인상깊습니다...
I have nothing but Bose around my house........bought 901's and 501's during my Navy days overseas.......in the 70's. Now have added 301's (garage)..........201's surround in Lving.........and 101's I think ....indoor outdoor out on pool deck.....which rock by the way.....lol.................my 501's died and Bose said pay for shipping and they would replace them.......cost 84 bucks , but they are new!!!!
parabéns lindo trabalho vc fez ficou muito ótimo a caixa de som eu gostei muito seu canal UA-cam Deus te abençoe.
I'm impressed. Never thought about rebuilding the raw speakers. I've got in a lot of Bose stuff. Some I just save for later repair. I get free electronics from this place 3 times a week.
Been thinking about building speaker cabinets of my own design and using some of the raw speakers.
You need to calibrate the coils, so nobody is able to do this any good.
His way of repairing is the correct way, only you need to calibrate it with electronic tools, the green 1970 ish wave display machine electronic people uses in the old days.
Replaced the stock woofer in my 301s with vintage altec Lansing drivers, made a huge improvement.
Any woofer would improve that speaker.
Had these same speakers a few years back amazing sound and great quality speakers.
Amazing job
lol
Wow just wow! what a transformation, you know your stuff my friend! looking at those woofers I wouldn't think they could be fixed like that! Fantastic job!
Aw that’s nothin that new boxes, cones, voice coils, dust caps, wires, capacitors, and grille cloth can’t fix good as new.
Think of the millions saved by re-using those little plastic end caps and the speaker baskets.
Would sound be like the new one?
@@vyloctruong3683 way better
Wow just amazing great job on the restoration. It's crazy how the old speakers used lightbulbs for over-current protection, such a simple yet smart way of doing it.
Most speakers still do
@@marcodandrea4086 EV (Electro Voice) comes to mind. Fred
Good video to learn about how these things were originally assembled. I picked up a pair of these used a few weeks back, in pristine shape. But today playing the Bob Ludwig-mastered first vinyl pressing of Led Zeppelin II revealed their biggest shortcoming--plastic in the build. I knew about the plastic, of course, but didn't know how this particular application of it would reveal its weakness. The record is "hot", with strong bass, and at moderate volume the plastic end pieces buzz with a nasty resonance. The tweeter and midrange speakers seem to be the only things that could buzz independently, as they're screwed/bolted into their plastic "carriers" or cages or whatever they're called. I may check that out and see if I can squelch the buzzing by wrenching them down, but I'm not optimistic. I know now why the three series of 301s prior to the series IV are viewed with more favor--much less plastic in the builds of those speakers, though I wouldn't say they're robustly engineered by any means. Even the subsequent series V model looks to have less plastic than the IV. At any rate, thanks for providing insight as to why these crappily-made speakers buzz the way they do.
Quá hay . Nhìn anh này còn trẻ mà giỏi quá
This was a great restoration video. Bose are really great speakers-until you hear just about any other brand of speakers. (JBL and Energy, among others.)
Bose do have an unfair reputation that they’re good. Don’t quite know how they managed that, great marketing.
Правильные руки растущие из правильного места! Прекрасная работа!
This is truly Handsome and an experienced restoration. I take my hat off to him. My respects!!!
Now that was impressive! I forgot how good the Old Bose Logo and the 301 looked. Great job!
To restore is to make same again. The type of wood Bose use for those bookshelf is unique. This was something else. Good attempt!
They used particle board. Cheap garbage.
Das nennt man Nachhaltigkeit, Respekt für den Aufwand.
I love Bose! Have had two cars with Bose stereos and they sounded great
You could make ASMR with many of these sounds. Especially the fast-forward moments sounds are calming.
No había visto en ningún video de ustedes que sacaran, tan fácil y mega rápido las bocinas, que bose hace los bafles de corcho.
Never cross your left hand over when feeding a saw of this type. Also wouldn't be a bad touch to paint some orange around the danger zone of that blade.
If you replace everything on the speaker with generic material except the steel and magnet, is it still Bose?
Superb restoration they look like they came out the factory excellent 👍
This is more like rebuilding the speakers from scratch! Excellent job anyway. Bose would be proud of you.
I loved my pair of 301 Series II. They were a very nice sounding set. Sadly they got destroyed by the sound of canon fire during one of the battles in the "Last of The Mohicans" film on my home theater when a buddy turned it up too loud after I went into my kitchen to prepare snacks.
🤣🤣🤣
What a film and music score.
👍✊🙏
Hola amigos excelente trabajo todo está original que Dios me los bendiga en su proyecto bendiciones para todos allí
I have a pair of Bose 201 III that I pulled out of the garbage. The speakers are are just fine but i need to remake the bodies as you have done. What glues did you use on the mdf bodies and to attach the plastics to the mdf ?
Un genio Bose para todo lo que viva por siempre amigo en los detalles más finos
J'adore Bose !! La barre de son de ma tv... Bose !! Mon enceinte portable... Bose, mon casque... Bose !!! Et même le son de ma voiture est équipé d'origine en Bose !!
0:54 At this point, I'd toss the stamped steel speaker basket and the injection-molded ABS pieces into the respective recycling bins and sweep the particle-board crumbs into the garbage can. A pair of Bose 301 - IV sells for around $200, the value of your restoration is multiples of this amount.
GreatbJob Sir! Newbie here. I would also like to repair my Bose Speakers soon. If I may ask you (or those among here who might know the answer.
1) What did you use in removing the glue from the cone?
2) What brand of glue did you mix for the speakers?
3) Where did you purchase the voice coil from?
Thanks so much for your answers! ❤
I used to have those in the nineties they were pretty damn sweet.
Great video awesome music great manufacturing skills
Your skills and talents are most impressive
We love you looking your beautiful vloggs perfectly beautiful vloggs always watching again and again in 3 x a day all in 24 hours in all watching again and again in all 11.7+ million numbers Pilipinos people migrants working abroad international professional job watching again and again in all....
You are the boss; good job 👍👏
I was in the Bose Store in a Border shopping center (San Diego),(which is now closed) 4 years ago and they had new 301s in the back but not on display.
What chemical do you usr to remove foams? I clean the grills with laundry detergent and warm water via a spray bottle and vacuum dry with a shol vac.
He probably used some kind of lacquer thinner or other solvent. You should have noticed how the surround got kind of wavy, so it had to be some pretty strong stuff!!!
Epoxy reducer
Banana oil
Snake Oil
Toluene, lacquer thinner
Siempre en los videos de este tipo Restauracion DIY tienen los dedod largos delgados y y la ula medio extraña?
How do you know the coil is in the middle of the magnet field from a height point of view when you glue it to the spider suspension?
Wow, I remember these from the 70’s.
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
What I appreciate most on your videos. There’s no added fluff. See a speaker that’s FUBAR do what’s needed to get it done.
Руки, откуда надо руки. Но... Не думал, что Боуз сделан из такого г-на. Качество комплектующих (и, соответственно стоимость) +/- F&D
Отличная работа. Хорошо смонтированное видео. Приятно посмотреть.
Amazing job! I wish I knew how to to do all of that!
The connections were not soldered.
That's pretty hard to watch.
Excuse the question but when winding it does not lose audio quality or power that pair of speakers or where can I get the same spare parts from bosse
Ohhhh WoW fantastic and beatifull thank 💯💢💯™️👍🤗
Senin 9 Mei 2022 5:35 WITA, Wow keren cara kerjanya 👍
wow I never know how to salvage broken speaker like you do! How does that sound?
Excelente trabalho!....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ok although EXTREME SKILL!! must acknowledged here in my opinion it's so much work when you could just buy a replacement pair
Very nice work on not so nice speakers.
Still think its worth it for nostalgie.
those must be from the 70's - that huge Bose logo on the front looks awesome. I have 301's series III, IV and V and none of them have that - they all have the little plastic stick on Bose logo - awesome rebuild!
Which do you like the most?
Yes back then we had really good audio stuff, i just bought a new car with high end audio from JBL but it sounds like an alamclock with radiofunction (if you still remember those)...
Hate the speakers...love your work👍
There is a reason Bose is seldom mentioned in the audiophile community. Restored perfectly but that's about it.
Buen trabajo , pero creo que no recompensa, creo que vale la pena comprarlos nuevos.
El trabajo completo lo veo como una satisfaccion personal del joven en reparar cosas, Claro esta que si tienes el dinero para comprar unos nuevos lo haces. Se ve que el joven es de bajos recursos y opino que para personas que les gusta reparar todo lo que se daña o se deteriora es muy didactico y util poder ver que no todo lo que no funciona o se pone viejo se tira a la basura.
Y cual es el propósito? Lo que hizo es una recuperación y lo hizo bien, es mejor reciclar que estar en mente de consumismo innesesario
Today everyone wants a really huge voice coil demanding serious amounts of power but I think that we could use the old systems of yesterday and just increase the amount of speakers of the grates from the past and just use multiplication and still come up with the same amount of power of the power hogs. Energy used is energy used and with so much cone it's going to be marvelous if you had 20 of these!
wow , amazing transformation . so good .
hello Mr. E , do you know if the Bose 301 Series IV grills will fit the Bose 201 series IV speakers ??
can you let me know where you buy the material for cover :grille? thanks
Nice work. I have a pair of these and they sound ok .
Very nice Job you did there.
I mean no sholdering of wire, sticking things on rusty metal surface... you are a legend of restoration community 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pegar con resisto blanco la parte plástica con el aglomerado puede generar que no dure mucho tiempo pegado.... O puede q sea un resisto especial y yo lo desconosca.... Es un buena reconstrucción.
от старых колонок только пластмасски да конденсатор, очень умно
Buendía amigo k likido usas para despegar el cono y el entral
Suppar suppar wonderful
Complimenti, complimenti, complimenti.
Another Cool video. Thank you
301 may well be the best Bose ever made...Despite of all the haters...
job done well, congratulations, a question but where can I find the spare parts of the whole speaker both jbl and pioneer, can you tell me a link?
Excellent work...BOSE is legend...
No Highs!...No Lows!....It *MUST* be *BOSE* !!! Cheap Components, Epic Marketing!!!
Esa bovina no estaba quemada ni se apreciaba que hubiera rosado,creo se podía salvar junto con el centrador más aún si eran originales.
El problema es la lamina de aluminio que esta en la bobina... que si se dobla fácilmente y termina ser inutilizable. También puede salvar si en comercio local venden ese papel de aluminio o kapton
lol...somebody was having real trouble parting with their BOSE 301 speakers.😂I remember hearing these in Circuit CIty either early late 90s or early 2000's. I was pretty unimpressed but thats all they had. I almost bought them. Glad I didnt.
This was a joy to watch!
Nice job. Don't know if those are worth spending the time on. Not high end speakers. Speaker reconing is an art. I have early 1990's Infinity Reference 3's. Changed out speakers 10- 15 years ago because the foam suspension crumbled. Now the replacements have done the same thing. Will try new foam rings. Not worth buying new drivers for.
240k people watching in 8 days is worth it I think lol
@@djones1391 That's 240k that no nothing about audio and quality speakers.
@@djones1391 Yeah. 301s are trash, though. They were in the right condition when he started. Now someone will have to listen to them. :p
Circular saw looks Very safe
I have a pair of these little guys and they have a big full sound like concert speakers. I upgraded the subs to hold more power.
Love this channel. Don’t be surprised if Bose sees this and you get a letter. Their technology is proprietary and they get pissed when people start fucking with it. Atleast that’s what I’ve found.
"продам, не бит не крашен, в оригинальном корпусе"))
Hello I have been following your work, and I think and like your videos. I would like to ask a question about what type of solvent do you use to detach the cone, and the spider so easily. Thanks.
Very good job, good to see some one doing it the right way very awesome job looks like Factory ,,,,, YEAH NICE ,,,, keep up the great work MR ELECTRICITY YEAH AWESOME JOB AND CRAFTING SKILLS i AM NOW VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WORK WELL DONE,JUST LIKE FACTORY !!!!!!!!!
Excellent job done
Good twisting the wires instead of soldering just like bose did.
Nice work. How about the sound quality..
I had a pair of these. They sounded great!
Y una pregunta y la máquina que hacía los diseños de los bafles es que me gusta que pongan el nombre del proyecto en los bafles 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice. There are better speaker driver replacements out there, better than original itself. The midbass woofer and two tweeters can be replaced with better ones. The capacitors must be replaced with film capacitors which I did with my Bose 301 ser.3.😊
Good work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
very nice job
Really cool! Like many of you, owned a couple pairs during college and early years of bachelorhood...so reliable and great sounding!!
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Great Job
This is incredible
