Lansaloy Surround Replacement (JBL LE-14C)
Hi All, I have found a white foam supplier on Ebay I have used to re-foam LE-8 drivers and passives. I am now working on some LE-14C woofers.

CS-77A tweeter (77-702F) original surround material question
Was the 77-702F tweeter's original surround material grey or brown? I've got a set to play around with and the rotted foam looks grey. Also, was the original foam material flat, or did it have the round shape we are used to seeing with foam surrounds? There is not enough original material... -
Why did Vintage SEAS Rubber Surrounds Hold Up Fine For Over Lifetime?
Something that I was curious about, is the Rubber Surrounds used on Seas drivers. Used on the 1960s Beovox Line, and Dynaco Line of Speakers aswell. As you know, rubber this age is almost never going to be ok. Its usually dry, cracked, melted, or anything in-between. I have seen many of these... -
Anyone else have Altec Lansing 9813b’s ?
Hi gang, I’m getting ready to redo the surrounds on a pair of Altec Lansing 8913b “studio monitor” speakers. Both woofs and mids need sourrounds, mostly ‘cause they look scruffy. Cabinets are pretty nice and they use the “Mantaray” tweeters. This particular pair was actually used as a studio... -
KEF 104aB B200 SP1039
I just acquired a set of KEF 104aB that I am reconditioning. New caps from falcon acoustics are in the mail. Got some fine sandpaper and boiled linseed oil for the tired cabinets. My only remaining challenge are the SP1039 drivers. The surrounds have become a little flat. I know this is common... -

RS4b paper layer under foam surround..? Help!
So.. I’m refoaming a set of rs4bs, and I have encountered a 1/16” paper riser that lives under the original foam. I have reconed speakers before, but never encountered this.

RE-DOPING Is Not Always a Good Idea (???)
Following Roy C's instructions to the letter, I resealed a pair of cloth surround woofers. They now sound flat with a dramatic decrease in bass. I wonder if anyone else ever encountered this situation: I can only theorize, the surrounds factory sealant had dried out many years ago and the... -
Woofer Surround Cleaning
This is a closeup picture of one of my HPM-100's woofer surround. This is the rubber part that attaches the cloth surround to the aluminum cast frame. As you can see, there is this white patchy substance (only on one woofer) that does not wipe off easily. Any suggestions how I might remove... -

I scored a mint pair of RS 325's today 60 bucks today. Of coarse the surrounds are toast. I knew that when I bought them. I intend on putting rubber surrounds in but my buddy who has and opinion on everything said they came with foam rubber may effect the compliance too much. He's right as often...- Ric Harris

Hi all, I am currently trying to change the surrounds on my realistic Mach Ones and I can't figure how to get the drivers out. Do I have to open the cabinet or can they be removed from the front?

Speaker foam supplier?
Hi The AK'er who used to sell me surrounds back when I did those things is not doing it anymore. I need a source for surrounds (not complete kits). Any suggestions? I hear that George W is good but I can't find an AKer by that name. Might be that I don't understand the system too. Suggestions...
