I know Stuart is not too far from Durham, he can ably service CD50's

he is about an hour drive away from you up the A74 headed north up to Motherwell

There was an eBay seller making replacement straps for the RL's, with fixing brackets too!

We bought a few pairs a while back, and can't remember her name. However, they look great! The name in red is missing, but the strap material was identical.

I'll do some grilling to try and find her details...

that would be great, I have some RL 60.2's that could do with a strap refresh, also I remember someone on ebay selling the distinctive Red & Black  speaker cables that go with the Redline speakers, but they seem to have disappeared, does anyone know who now sells the curly speaker cables these days ??

Have you tried Letraset for the Name/Model No.??

Yes, any info on a strap supplier would be really good.

I picked up the RL140s today - they're in much better cosmetic condition than I was expecting and to my untrained ear they sound great (he let me have them for £20 too!). I see what you mean about the size though. They're actually bigger than the fridge I have in here!! 😁

Only thing is they're a little bit grubby in places - is there any way of giving them a light clean without damaging them?

Thanks

For £20 I reckon you can do what you want! Don't wet the grilles but maybe an upholstery cleaner?

If you can't get them presentable without using any detergent/water, check out what I did to my RL6000's a little while ago:

I believe the RL140's won't be that much different; just be very careful with the woofers. If they don't have foam rot already, they will at least be fragile... or if you're very lucky, fixed already - but I wouldn't expect that for the price you paid for them! 😂
