27 replies

linkThis link on my Picasa shows you the way how I did reclothing my Beovox RL140's.

Lots of pictures...and there must be a slide option when you're in PicasaπŸ™‚

Just to give you an idea how big these monsters are...

 

looks nice Leslie!! good work!

My first thought was: how is the "bang & olufsen" text on the fret made... now I know, and how it is reclothed too πŸ™‚

which size of a RL speaker is equal or better sound wise compared to a CX100?

I guess all of them? I don't know to be honest, but I will compare them with my CX100's cause I have them all. Will let you know..

Great job on them, Leslie. I think I'll have a go at my RL140s now. What kind or double stick tape are you using?

Get the right one, I used a double tape, it was promised to stick on everything for years and came off after one week.

Beautiful work as usual Leslie.  I appreciate the detailed pictures.  I too have a few questions though.
1. What brand of double-sided tape?
2. It appears that you brushed some sort of glue on and around the Bang & Olufsen logo first (makes sense - I sprayed on some 3M sticky glue on my first RL140 job).  What kind of glue do you use for that?
3. In your finish steps, what is it that you are brushing on to the plastic frame?

Thanks,
sonavor

Thanks Sonavor!

1) link, use Ebay.de to get them cheap. Don't buy them at Conrad, far to expensive!

2)  Please note that you have to wait for a minute or two before applying the cloth, or else the glue will appear throught the cloth!!
