A thin covering  of teak oil covered a mulitude of sins on my S45-2's. I wouldn't say the scratches disappeared, but you only notice them when you look closely.

Thanks Simon

You know, people remember where they were at gret milestones in their life.
I know where I was when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon and where I was when Elvis died or Princess Diana.
I also will always remember where I first heard that version of Hotel California, In a small thatched cottage on the island of Venø!
Glad you enjoyed the thread mate.

I wasn't expecting this. I've read every post of this thread and it is a gold for me as I do not have any technical skills for audio equipment and once I encounter foam rotting like this I will use your guide to do it by myself on my pair of MC120's.

Too bad they're not making any of those scratch removing liquids.

Great work!

Teak Oil will make scratches a lot less visible.

What a brilliant thread.  It took me about a year to get round to it from start to finish, but I bought a pair of rotted teak S45s off eBay for a tenner and have just finally finished the refoaming job, and hooked them up to the Beogram CD50 that Martin's just fixed it for me and fed some Northern Soul through it and - at least to my untutored ears - they sound great...  Thanks Andy!

I've just bought these today for £20.

I was hoping one of us got those Nigel. I'm a big fan of the S55's & would have bid myself if I didn't have a pair sat in a box from Graham (joeyboygolf).

Rosewood is my favourite colour for the S/M series - just lovely.
