Im still working on the text for these,

can anyone tell me if RL45 reads either RL 45 or RED LINE 45 on the originals ?

thanks

I'm not sure if there's a definative answer here Jay.

I seem to remember B&O having to drop the name "redline" part way through production & simply call this speaker range "RL" due to some copyright infringement so there may be more than one version. Personally I would simply use the "RL" prefix and call it a day.

I'd also give prospective customers a choice of text (or not) for the RL*000 series for that personal touch. PS - I'll be wanting some RL45.2 & RL60.2 ones shortly.

Thanks everyone for all your help, just the information i needed.

Chris, thats exactly what i was thinking (although its easy for me to say that after youve said it 👍 ) regarding the customer choice on the RL*000

Once ive produced the metal printing plates for each variation and recieved the hot foil stamping machine ill be able to see how they turn out.

Although im tempted to just print 'Jay rocks' on all of them and have done with it 😂

Thanks again everyone

This will probably make B&O devotees shudder, but some years ago when my original straps snapped I replaced them with ordinary ribbon of the same width and colour. Still there and still look fine to me! I got extra ribbon at the time in case it was needed, but so far it's not.

 Because ribbon is so flexible it's not subject to the same strains and problems as the original material.

Of course there's nothing printed on but in my opinion that's no problem.

Others may disagree!!

Check this one: download, unzip, save folder somewhere, open folder, open C/windows/fonts, copy the Q file to fonts, done

I have 2 pairs of Redline 140's. The first pair, the straps say "RL 140". The second pair, the straps were broken so I'd love to hear how your project goes!

BTW Martin, as soon as I have those straps back on, the 1st pair will be complete. It sounds amazing!
