blast city speaker replacements

[codecrank]

I was searching all over the place for replacement blast city speakers ( part 130-5156-01 ) . Finally found some and I thought I'd share the info. 60$ per speaker box + shipping.

Play It! Amusements, Inc , T: 847-364-9787

When Sega decided to sell its spare parts division, some Sega employee bought it and created Play It! Amusements, Inc

Awesome, I will bookmark this in case I ever need to replace my speakers on my Blast City. And when you say "each" do you mean a pair for $60? Or 2 speakers for $120?

Too bad it's such a pain in the ass to get to the speakers themselves to replace them.

edited my post to clarify it.

I couldn't agree more about the process of swapping them out. I just had the damn monitor out a few weeks ago so I could tate the cab... oh well.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Personally, if I am going to take the effort to replace my speakers, I am going to replace both at the same time. But $120 plus shipping is a bit pricey in my book for 2 speakers. Oh well, if you gotta do it, you gotta do it.

random question- couldnt you open the speaker box and replace the cone? or is everything propriatery?

codecrank, you sir are a god among men!
Does that part include the speaker grills as well? I may have to bite on this sooner than later. Also, I second or third that it's a pain in the ass to get to the speakers. Good looking out!

I ordered some replacement speakers from Sega via Betson, and No they do not come with the grills.

I would like to do that, but it looks kinda unusual. When I get my replacement unit, I'll open it up and document the content on the AO wiki.

I should probably grab a set.

i couldnt see something that old having proprietary speakers, they have to be somewhere .....

Did a quick google of the company name. It looks like Sega just moved buildings and changed the name. It's actually still owned by Sega or so this post says...

if not and they are proprietary... someone needs to get me a frame from a blown cone, and i'll just make speakers again.

I wonder how much they sell them for, and how much you have to buy minimum.

I'll try to pop the tweeter our tomorrow.

Enjoy !
