I got a set of Comtac II's off ebay and the auction listed them as not working and unable to turn on. I took the gamble as I got them at a reasonable price.
I got them and removed some corrosion on one of the battery contacts and they still would not turn on. so I took the boards out of the ear cups looing for any obvious corrosion or damaged parts.
The only thing I found was one of the yellow wires looked flat and crimped from being pinched between the circuit board and the ear cup. I moved it out of the way and put it all back together and they turned on!
they weren't super loud but worked and turned on now. I went to test the comm functionality and the speakers are all garbled and sound like crap. Like they are blown. Not too much pf a problem ill just pay to have them fixed.
I called SRS tactical in FL and they said they don't fix Peltors cause they cant get the parts for them. but they gave me the number for the Peltor repair facility in IN.
I called them up annnnnd they don't fix the Comtac II's anymore. Sweden wont sent them the parts either.
So where do I go from here? does anyone know of a commonly available replacement for the speakers? or what the yellow wire in the ear cup goes to?
Thanks
Update:
After a month of waiting to hear back from Atlantic signal, they agreed to sell/send me 2 replacement speakers.
They are just listed as ACH replacement speakers. So unknown if they had some ComTac II speakers or ComTac III speakers.
Either way the are on the way and I’ll report back if they work.
I feel this is relavent to anyone who has ComTacII’s and they break. We pretty much have no one who can fix them now.
Update 2:
Got the speakers in. I don’t know if they are specifically Comtac II or III speakers, but they soldered on just fine and work perfectly! $7.50 for each one.
I kind of have half a mind to order a couple extra just to keep as spares just in case.
