DIY Refoam job

12 replies

Just wanted to share this with you;

A pair of Beovox C75 came in here for refoaming. That's not all that uncommon.
The owner did a refoam attempt himself. That's not all that uncommon either.
- But not always good news, I mean, there must be a reason for him to send the speakers
after he tried himself..
Anyway, this owner did not buy new foam surrounds, instead he tried his luck with cut pieces
of what looks to be a kitchen towel and some kind of glue that sets solid as a rock.
The cone is frozen solid but at least he managed to close the gaping hole left by the old surround.

I didn't ask him if he shim'ed...

A new take on an old theme. ;-)

Either way, it doesn't look like it'll scrape much...

We really should try to get designer surrounds for our drivers😁

I bet he got it right the next time 😎

The result of a compromise with the local FS maybe ?  ❓

Revenge of the FS !

Lovely!!πŸ™‚πŸ˜

How are you going to fix this one Martin, will you try to save the cone, or just put in a new cone without attempt to save.

Are the voice coils OK ??
