Yes, You are exactly right. If you check the original post where you answered Dell's question where the speaker coil came from, we read "I pulled it out of the epoxied portion of a Dell Systems GS Pro". Dell knows this, but he failed to give any information, in preference to calling people liars.

Actually I made an error when I didn't read the first post close enough. This coil first appeared with mention of the Pro-4 here: http://thunting.com/geotech/forums/s...ad.php?p=52708
If you scroll down, we find a later post where you identify it as coming from a GS Pro model.

Official Retraction:
No speaker voice coil glued inside a pot casing was ever found inside a Dell Systems Omnitron Pro-4 model that I know of. It was only found in a Dell Systems Omnitron GS Pro model. All references to a speaker coil in a model Pro-4 are errors. Any prospective customers who are considering purchasing a Dell Systems Omnitron Pro-4 model can feel safe that it is designed and programmed by an outstanding engineer, using state of the art electronics to produce very stable frequencies.

Best wishes,
