Beovox Penta Restoration Project

12 replies

Hi, 

I hope this message reaches you well, I know it's an old post. I recently bought some old Beovox Penta in average shape and want to restore them. My project is to run them in active mode. I mean running them in a three-way system with active filter.

From the previous post, I saw Niston switching the rotten mid speaker with visaton. From the pdf description, the outer shape doesn't match the circular shape from the original speakers.  https://www.visaton.de/sites/default/files/dd_product/frs8m_8.pdf How can the Visaton speaker can fit in the old speaker's place ? 

Another thing, I have lots of problems removing the covers without any damage, any tips ?

I cut the mounting points off to make the visatons conform to the required round shape; the metal is relatively soft.
