When I bought a ATS-909 from Crane Radio I thought that I had a good
receiver but when I tested in after a few months of being stored in
the package, I found that the speaker was badly distorted and when
I asked Crane they said that the repair would cost a minimum of
$ 75.00.
Crane does not have a warranty that's worthwhile.
Hello,
I had the same problem with my ATS 909 (but after a year of
operation). I bought a same size speaker at RS (or FARNELL). I
remember that some of the metal coating / plating) went into the gap
where the voice coil is located. This is not a sign of wear, but bad
workmanship.
I don't know the situation (legally) where you live, but as this is a
high-end receiver within the Sangean range, over here in the
Netherlands, this would be within the guarantee period (and should be
repaired without any costs).
I hope that you can move your supplier to have it repaired for free.
Best regards,
