I saw at Good Hifi's website that I can get rubber surrounds and now I can't help thinking, "Why don't I order rubber surrounds instead of foam surrounds" I have the idea that the rubber surrounds will last much longer, but what difference will they make sound wise compared with the foam surrounds?

Here is what I have done to the cabinets. Even though they looked terrible they didn't have any deep scratches or torn off veneer. I think the damage is mostly discoloration due to water from pot plants and vases. I don't know why the rosewood has grown light so much that it almost looks like teak. I cleaned the cabinets with wood cleaner, the

h1npw: Bit of an understatement jgunzelman!!!!!!! Absolutely amazing - I would never have thought it was possible. riis - Is it possible to give us a step by step description on how you did it and what materials you used ? Cheers Nigel Thanks Nigel. Of course I'll give a step by step description. Isn't it what this forum is about? To share our

ben12345: I think there must either be a discrepancy in the specification, or there were different versions of the M75 with a 12.5cm unit. Mine also measure smaller. I refoamed mine with a 4.5" foam surround modified to fit. I cant remember where I got the surrounds for the M75, but i've used www.speakerbits.com and www.newfoam.com in the past

Yes I have. Thanks for the link. I can find foam rings for the woofers, but what about the other unit, which needs refoaming. It's the unit just above the woofer. I thought it was the mid-range but is it really the phase-link instead? The specifications on the M75 says: Woofer: 25cm Phase link unit: 12,5 cm Mid-range unit: 6cm Tweeter: 2,5cm When

and after. Hard to see it is the same speaker, but it is.........

Here are a couple of "before and after" photos of the cabinet. Before

Here is a photo taken before I started the retoring project. As you see the woofers er rotten, but the mid-range units are also in a bad condition. Can they be refoamed? Or do I need new ones. If so are they still available?

Nevertheless the woofers are totally rotten. I'd like to show some pictures, but how do I attach pictures in this forum? I agree with you on the quality of the veneer. The cabinets were really awful, but after polishing and oiling they are (almost) like new. I have some before and after pictures.

I've bought a pair of Beovox M75 at a flea market. They look awful but they are going to be my next restoring project. All units are working but the woofers have of course got foam rot and need refoaming and also the mid-range units seem to be bad though they are still without holes. Where do I find the materials for refoaming? I've seen a couple
