    Default gong repair

    Just wanted to add some hints to this old thread, unfortunately it is not possible to add directly as the case is closed.

    Speaker in the gong has 80 Ohm, and they are not that easy to get.
    In case you replace it by an 8 Ohm speaker, you have to install a resistor of 75 Ohm in series. But this reduces the loudness of the speaker.
    In case you just install an 8 Ohm speaker without reistor, then you send your chip into Nirwana = dead.

    If someone has a good source for such a small speaker, let us know, because the gong is quite expensive.
