need help finding foam surrounds

[hinodit]

I need help finding the original green color surrounds for a pair of jensen model 5 speakers. If any one knows anything i would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks Mike.

You can't find green surrounds. If you really need to, you can find a paint suitable for foam surrounds, and paint it. It shouldn't be thick.

I think HomerJ is the guru of greening surrounds. There are a couple of threads on how to do this, but I'm not sure what the keywords would be -- maybe someone can chime in.
But recognize that the color of the surround is unimportant to its function. The green foams seem to have been particularly susceptible to decomposition, so there may some virtue to going grey.

Green foams are also hazardous. As Analog Addict can attest, I have a (barely visible) scar on my upper lip courtesy of a repair of rotted pair of Genesis green foams. His speakers, his anesthesia, his stitching. Top tip: When removing a recalcitrant woofer from a cabinet, don't whap the back of the magnet while looking right at the speaker. :nono:
