Bigger than you could imagine. One of the Bass drivers wasn't working but thanks to a tip from Martin (detached flexible wire to the voice coil which required some pretty painstaking dismantling & resoldering) at least that is now fine.

The usual refoaming will be next followed by a recap.

Then some of the retaining pegs are missing from the frets which I'll need to "re-manufacture" so to speak.

Finally the cabinets - I haven't yet decided on a course of action. They have been allowed to get damp which has caused the bottom joints to swell & part. That's before I even consider any remedial repolishing, but rest assured I'll get there.

Chris.

Chris I could use all retaining pegs for my Beovox M150 covers. All 4 of them in total. They are all broken.

So if you find a solid solution please send a pm. My CDX still works since you did lefthinge some years ago.

I'm glad my Beovox S120 only had rot and my Bevox M150 are scratched but not deep. I do hope you do a thread with clear instructions on the rebuild of yours.

Anyway congratz when finished you are in for a treat.

Wish you all the best with restoring and please show me (us) the results will you? I'm also interested how you re-manufacture the pegs!

I think I once read about somebody making them from plastic wall plugs. Find a suitable size, cut to length and epoxy in. Even available in black if you look around 🙂

That's a good idea🤒 Will work on that unless somebody else has a better idea!

For repairs to the broken front grill pins, I've seen wooden dovel pegs used instead.
Remains of the old pins removed and ground down, dovel pegs glued to the grills and painted black.
Worked fine.

I did something like that with M70s, though I didn't paint the dowel.  I reinforced the joint by "pinning" it.

This is the method I've used before using plasterboard plugs with the expanding ends cut off & shaved slightly, a bit hard to explain without pictures. Done properly there's a method to also screw these onto the post seats to ensure a really good fix. I'll probably post something in the workbench section as this restoration progresses.

Chris.

Just finished mine thanks to you guys!

Hi folks,
