I just picked up some Penta 1s in great overall condition, and although everything about them seems to function, id like to find information about available cap kits etc. as these speakers are 30 years old and will need refreshed !

Midranges are in the process of being refoamed. I guess they all need that !

Ive read all i can on this forum and see that there are knowledgeable people here that provided this very thing in the past. Dillen comes to mind. Does anyone still do this ?

Ill also need to find someone to do the electronics side of this as im no expert on circuit boards !

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Kiwi.

Of interest to those refoaming the Penta midranges, Audiofriends now stocks replacement gaskets that are oem replacements. These replace the brittle originals between basket and baffle. Audiofriends are naming them "sealing rings".
