Thanks for the speedy response Martin. I pulled the back of the defective unit and it is gone. I did find a set of foam repair kits on eBay. Sorted. How much are your cap kits..? Think it is a good time to repair the lot at once.

Guy, you have a PM !

1 is 5 ohm and the other is like 14 ohm. weird but thats what mine read.
The 5 ohms measured as DC resistance would be about right, the rest is far out. Have you measured in-circuit or out ?
Also note that speaker impedance (AC resistance) is different from the DC resistance your multimeter will give you (and greatly frequency dependent).

I just the woofers from My RL 140's to be repaired. The place I sent to are known to be very good only thing is they are replacing the surrounds with foam. They say the only replace things to original specifications. They said it would make a slight difference if one were to put rubber surrounds.
