I took my eye off the ball for this one. He’s a lovely lad of 11 now. I’ve never mentioned it to him and he obviously doesn’t remember.
I do get some distortion and certain records I don’t play cos of it.
Recent price to replace £160 + £38/hour labour to replace. I’m not going to bother.
Remember if you have grandchildren they’ll probably move faster than you.

I’ve seen videos like this before but they don’t appear to be aluminium domed tweeters. One chap used a cardboard toilet roll holder placed around one and sucked and just like that, it popped out.
I will have look later today.

Yes, I know what you mean there. About 20 years ago they cost me £750, I disposed of the original packing 5 to 6 years ago, I had a clear out.
I don’t drive and I have to deliver to the dealer and I am going to replace anyway.

Cheers @Ian2001 . As the voltage is only 100v here and both poles are referenced to each other rather than earth, there won’t be any shock unless I use a step up to 200v and something fancy to reference live to earth.
In seriousness though I have no advice for the OP. All kids are different. One of mine took on board the “don’t touch this” at age 2. The other has more of a “screw you. I’m laying claim to what I want” attitude. He’s 3. You can certainly swing the odds in your favor with careful messaging and encouragement for respect for other’s things. But you can never predict every kid and some will go through phases that others won’t. Phases where no tweeter, stylus, or bass reflex port is safe. And phases where no lessons are learned from negative consequences.
Thanks, hope this comes across in the right way - but I was slightly surprised that your TEAC turntable wasn’t quite in ‘keeping’ with the Luxman equipment however with young children …
Hehe, I’ll do a write up on the other thread once I’ve refined the setup. Little kids weren’t really a factor. Though I did tell my youngest “be warned! An arm for an arm.”
I recall hearing a friend telling the story that, when his kids were younger, he made it very clear to them that “these are Daddy’s toys and you must not touch” to which his son replied, very seriously, “But Daddy, toys are for sharing…”
