[Vintage-Audio] Re Repairing Foam Suspension Speakers

Sun Feb 2 00:47:00 2003

Hi Rick,

You can also do it yourself for a lot less money - typically $27 for a
pair - and avoid the hassle of shipping your speakers.  It's easy to do and
your speakers will sound like new again.  A couple of sources include:

http://www.speakerworks.net/kits.html
http://www.simplyspeakers.com/2doityourself.htm

Repair kits for over 1,000 speaker types are available - just search for
"foam surround replacement" on the web.  Good
luck,

73, Bob W9RAN
