OLUFSEN FORM 1 REPLACEMENT FOAMS
65 replies
Hi,
they look like the form2 foam; but no internal form; just plain foam all along the square thing; thickness around 8mm
Sorry I'm over 2 months late with this, but I did really intend to participate. It looks like nobody did, so I guess I don't have to feel too badly about my tardiness.
Anyway, I finally got around to working on a prototype or proof of concept (or something). The first thing I was going to try was cutting out a piece of foam the size of the old ear cushions, and an octagon shaped piece of black fret cloth.
Then use some contact cement to fasten the fret cloth to the foam.
Then use some contact cement to fasten the foam/cloth assembly to the Form 1. The foam I found at the FLESS was thick enough that I thought the upper pad could be omitted for the repair.
I was encouraged by this 5 minute, sloppy prototype. I might actually take some time in the coming days to try this as a real project.
A second thought I had was to cut a circular hole in the foam over the driver area. If I do actually take some time to work on this, I will probably prototype both methods and see what sounds best.
Stay tuned.
These kind of threads I really enjoy! LOP :-)

Black fret cloth? No input form the FS?... The first thing I was going to try was cutting out a piece of foam the size of the old ear cushions, and an octagon shaped piece of black fret cloth. More blah-blah, 0-1 photographs per post
What is the thickness of the original foam? 10mm?
