Infinity RS4B worth 125.00 needing foam surrounds

Black Belt in Corruption
Have the opportunity to buy a pair of Infinity RS-4B speakers. Sitting in a closet for the last 15 years. Foam on all 4 drivers shot. Cabinets in near mint condition, as are the grills. Worth 125.00 asking price?

I just got home with them. Only issues are the foam surrounds, and 3 of the dustcaps are pushed in. All fixable. Never have heard these before, so looking forward to it.

On another note, the seller also informed me that she has more stuff put away in the closet/storage room, but buried behind alot of other stuff. She is going to dig it all out this coming weekend, and give me 1st dibs on any or all of it. The only brand she remembers is Klipsch, and the way she described them, it sounds like Heresy's . Also stuff her husband brought back from Germany in the 70's. They replaced it all with a Bose wave radio, but she admitted the Infinity speakers sounded better.

nice grab on the speakers. take your time and do a proper refoam.
sounds like you may have struck gold on some of the other gear. :yes:

I have read that there are a couple members here who sell foam, but can't remember who they are. I usually buy mine from Orange County, but with 4 woofers, it will be spendy. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

As far as the other gear, hard to say what it might be. She is planning on digging it out, and emailing me some pictures with make and model numbers. Man, the anticipation.
 
RUN, don't walk!! $125 is an awesome price!!

RS-4b's were my introduction to Infinity speakers way back in 1988. Unfortunately, my ex-wife got them in divorce settlement. I'd love to have a pair again some day.
 
Do yourself a favor....

MAT electronics. You will need to spend $25 total, but for most AK'ers it's not a problem. I usually just get a foam selection, and then have them on hand when some other speakers come down the pike. Or you could get the dust caps you need for the 4b's. I refoamed mine with foams from MAT. They fit perfectly.

Either way the foams for those will run you about $1 or $1.50 apiece....:thmbsp:

Very nice job on those. I will go ahead and order what I need plus the dust caps. I plan on picking up some JBL L80T's with bad foam, so there is a start. Thanks for the recommendation!
 
Finally 2 months later got them done

Picked up the RS-4b's a couple of months ago, needing foam and dustcaps. Ordered the foam and caps from Rick Cobb, and spent 3 days cleaning and applying the new surrounds and dustcaps. Havent had to do anything with the cabinets, look really nice as is. I will have to wait until tomorrow to see how they sound. Just finished the foam this morning at 6am.
