Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:54The only thing I think is missing from Beoworld is more pictures of dogs and B&O, who’s with me?
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:46At this point I am very pleased now they are all done, the fact that they are not black like the originals no longer bothers me as they are all the same. One down, five more to go and then I might get around to my own!
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:45I chose some star lock washers which worked extremely well on this, this worked well even on the lug that had completely broken away. Not a tool you want anywhere near your fragile frames, but all the same out came ‘deli…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:43Time to fix those frames. I trialed various plastics and picked up some at my local Hobby shop called plastic building card, I used size 80B which is 2mm thick, it came in A4 sheets. It has a subtle flex to it whilst sti…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:42I wanted as smaller head as possible that would hold and not go through the hole or be seen touching the fabric (from the front). These when in situ still have a couple of mm space away from the fabric. Enough to put a t…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:40The maximum length screw without damaging the fabric on insertion is 20mm. At least it is with the MS150s.
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:33Mounting the new lugs is quite simple after the first few when you’ve found your knack, but you do have to stretch the fabric out with the back of your fingers a bit more than you would expect it to stretch whilst at the…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:32Purely for beautification purposes I snipped off the 2 thinner prongs and snipped the ends to points. They are holding just as well with 2 prongs out of 4 and if anything slightly easier to insert the frame onto the spea…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:31Rawl Plugs snipped off to the same length as the original lugs, the fabric frames now fit onto the speakers, the frames now feel as they should, just enough pressure when going on to hold firm, but not too much so they c…

in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:23Here’s a picture of a lug completely broken off its frame from its underside showing the existing hole, larger than the hole I’ve opened up in the top.
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:22I went through various solutions of spacers and solid pins, and couldn’t find any clips on the market that would flex in like the originals (which was actually quite a neat design… until things got snappy) and still be a…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:20Not wanting to risk drilling down through the fabric and table! I used a flat wood drill bit, and with very little pressure by hand in the centre it revealed the existing hole in the centre of the lug, which was very han…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:19Again with the fragile frames, the Dremel allowed me to cut with very gentle pressure. Dremel flat just before a hole appears, you’ll learn this depth on the second one! You’ll notice on this photo this lug had already s…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:18Rather than snapping off the remaining lugs I went ahead and snipped each one off so not to put any unnecessary pressure on the surrounding fragile frames. Although at a glance all these frames look unbroken.
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:16Most covers do hold on with the odd missing clip, but 40 years on these are breaking more and more. This became more apparent during my current complete restoration of a pair of incredible MS150 speakers, I wanted to res…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:15Although I think these look just as incredible without the fabric frames, it seems maybe due to their large magnets pets and small children are hypnotically drawn to investigate the fragile dust covers with furry noses a…
Beovox ms150.2 grill lug and frame repair fix for MS and S speaker range
in Imported Content (Unmapped) · Mar 19, 2020 16:09Hi Fellow Beoworlders, I thought I’d share my recent adventure, finding a good fix for those pesky little brittle speaker frame lugs on all of the S45 / S55 / S80 / S120 / MC120 / MS150 / M150 and point 2s. The sizes of …
