Hi all!

I bought a set of M70's and have been reading about the speaker magnets coming loose. All of my speakers sound good now and I have one grill off (they were glued on) and the speakers pass the finger test.

Now I would like to do the epoxy prevention repair but cannot find a good procedure or pictures about doing it just mentions in different threads.

Also a method of reattaching the grills.

Thanks, Jim.

Thank you! That is what I was looking for.

Should I do this to all the speakers? The links talk about just the woofers and I read that some people were having trouble with the phase link speakers. Also I have some S60 speakers should I do those also?

Thanks, Jim.

My approach has been; if I have it open- I epoxy all drivers. If Iā€™m going to be transporting this era B&O speakers to loan to someone across town; I open and epoxy. Cheap insurance and saves an enormous amount of time.

Hi Jim,

I surprised that my M70 restoration did not come up in your search.  Pretty much everything was covered!?!

Let me see where it is...

Thank you!  I'm not sure how I missed your project but now I have the link and of course some questions I posted on it.

I read Sorens M70 project but none of the pictures will load up the just say "picture not found". Not sure why.

Thanks, Jim.
