This project entailed repairing three large speaker cabinets hanging 32 feet directly above the chancel. A slopped floor, stairs and other obstructions prevented us from simply using a ladder to assess the situation. We rigged up a long pole with a compressed air hose to remove decades of dust so that we could examine the manufacturer information plates with binoculars. The manufacturer is still in business and was happy to help us get replacement parts. The speakers needed to be lowered and dismantled before we could determine replacement part numbers, so there was no way to order parts ahead of time.
