Hi,

I have recently bought a pair of Beovox 3800's.   One speaker sounds great, one terrible.  Looks like it needs a new woofer.  Someone at one time has tried to glues the dust cover on with a load of Araldite.

I wonder if anyone could recommend an alternative replacement 12" driver?  Or where I could get the original.  (Long shot I know)

I live in the UK

I am also going to replace the capacitors in the crossovers, as these are pretty old now and it sounds a little woolly.

Looking forward to getting these speakers up and running.  I am sure they will sound great.

Mike

Hi Mike, I have a pair of used Goodmans 12" woofers that came out of a 3800.

I bought them as spares about 10 years ago on ebay.

They haven't been used by me so I can't guarantee they work as I no longer have my 3800's.

They appear to be in good condition, the cones move freely, they are both a bit dusty.

One looks to be in very good condition but no longer has its felt spacer/gasket on the front or the foam spacer on the rear .

I only know these are missing as the second speaker has them but on this speaker dust cap has wandered and is off centre.

They look identical, both have the blue&black "Goodmans Loundspeaker Ltd made in England" label with serial number 91110475552.

If you're interested let me know. I think £20 for the pair and no more than £20 for p&p (they're heavy but should cost less) would be fair.

Paul

Hi Paul,

Do you still have these speakers? I'd like to buy them if you do.

Thank you,

David
