Hi guys,
Through a local DOD contractor I found a few small shops that will make Berillium Diaphrams... Apparently the new fighter jets use alot of the material, so they are set up to work with it, and do small runs... So , what I need, to get a price, is CAD drawings of the diaphram, and the piece that gets pressed into the middle.. I have been told that they can do it, based upon my description. So, did anyone ever make a drawing of the diaphram...or maybe please......mike...could you... Rich |

I was just going on what you guy have been saying for years...
I read lots of threads here...I was told the original diaphram (the one that breaks) was made from berillium. The replacements that were being used were made of a copper bronze alloy that did not work the same way and were harder to tune. So, I ran into this guy, and I am willing to take this through to a price etc... And yes, they would make a press tool for the ridges, and they would make new center pieces, and assemble the whole deal...at least that was the concept. At least we can have a healthy discussion and possibly they may have some setup ideas... I would prefer we make these entirely new, no need to hunt down cores just for the middle part,,,then have to disassemble them... Rich |
