Hi Guys,

Ive been using my BL's for ...i dont know 3 years or so. Awesome drivers.

BUT I pulled them out the other day and the motor is showing signs of rust. Not nearly as bad as the terminals on the shitty Samsung TV after a year, but its there.

Now I live at the sea and things do go bad around here.

How much would it cost to rust proof these things. Maybe can add a few extra options such as Powder-coating and using Stainless where possible. I could post pics, but the fact is they still play just fine and its not nearly as bad as this post might make it sound; just sad to see rust on my babies.

Powder coating would be a great way to do it. Paint at the least would greatly help. Stainless steel in the motor structure isn't an option though since it doesn't magnetize like regular steel the motor's wouldn't work correctly.

Adding a paint/powder coat option would be money well spent IMHO.

That was an anodizing coating that was used for a long time, it occasionally had issues in tropical areas..but that was when we imported the steel parts.

Ever since we've used steel from here we've been coating it and baking it..definitely not a problem now.

So that means time for an upgrade
