I have 2x RL60s and 2x RL140 speakers, all bought from Ebay within the last 3 months. Based on what I have read on previous threads and been advised by users of this forum, these are quite likely to be suffering from foam rot by now. I can't really tell from listening to them whether there's any damage or not as I have no other good quality speakers to compare them with.
Anyway, at midnight tonight armed with a copy of the service manual kindly provided to me by Steve at Sounds Heavenly I decided against my better judgement (me and electrical quipment don't mix!) to open one of the RL60s up and see what I could see for myself. I did manage to get the back cover off and removed the screws that seemed to be holding one of the bass drivers in place so I could look at it from the front, but it still wouldn't budge. At this point I decided that the job was definitely beyond me and put everything back together (hopefully the way it was before!).
So the point of this thread is to ask if there's any beoworld member, preferably in the Durham area (but let me know even if you're somewhere else in the UK and I will consider), who is familiar with these speakers who would be able to have a proper look at them and if necessary refoam them for me. I would of course pay you for your time and expertise 🙂. Alternatively if anyone can recommend somebody who could look at them for a reasonable rate that would be good. I have been told the job isn't too complicated but as I've said I just don't trust my abilities!
Thanks, Rob.
