568 + 6Ks is a lovely system, well worth a good service and new tweeters. I found new tweeters and caps utterly transformed the pair I had a few years back. The fuse has been replaced and all is good in my sonic universe. Yes it is wonderful and an utter bargain for what I paid. The tweeters are black so I am convinced they have been replaced as the original are silver. I took them out and they are the new model, can’t remember the model number. I haven’t been brave enough to take the amps out yet to see if they have been recapped. What improvements did you experience ? Basically, after the refurb, everything was better. Cleaner and sweeter, more detailed, much, much cleaner and faster bass (I thought the bass-boom was normal when I bought the speakers, but it wasn’t there after a service). These are old pieces of electronics, and there are parts, such as tweeters and electrolytic caps, which will and do age over time. A proper refresh has them sounding as they did when new. And it’s an awesome sound. Not just on these speakers, by the way, I’ve had similar improvements on other DSPs I’ve had refurbed.

Take pictures so you can make sure the connectors go back in the correct ways.
The top panel connects to the lower panel via several connectors - two grey 4-wire cables, one grey 3-wire cable, and two yellow/green three-way cables. Again, take pictures of how things are connected. This can’t be emphasised enough. The connectors are not idiot proof and can be plugged in either way. If you plug them in the wrong way, you will likely do damage. As Steve says, take pics, or I would even mark them with a coloured marker, across one side of the connectors, so the marks have to line up when you plug them in again… Anything like that which helps you get it right when you put them back.

Hi Paul,
For the older DSP6000's, I'd recommend servicing the entire back panels (both upper and lower) - there are several capacitors on the lower panel that provide the initial smoothing and should be replaced.
I also checkover the DSP/Comms boards and connection boards (as they also form part of the PSU).
Cheers,
Steve
