Something rattling in my Beolab 3500?

NioI know its a Forum but I noted that one of the members said that he repaired these speakers, but obviously I can't send the 3500 to Europe from Australia. Hence my query about being able to buy the parts from somewhere!

Great. 👍

Hopefully someone will respond with advise on where to source the foamrings. 

BL3500 is a gem, so its worth wile to maintain them.

Hi, I also have a problem with the righthand speaker in my 3500. I removed the grill and noticed that part of the black foam around the edge of the speaker has fallen out. Also when I played music through the speaker with the grill off some more of the foam fell out on high volume. As I am in Australia do you supply repair kits for this unit and do you supply instructions on how to replace the foam/rubber.

Others on the forum have used replacement kits from audiofriends.nl for their Penta midrange speakers.

Did you try contacting audiofriends as suggested in my post of 26Mar?
