- or, if the surrounds have rotted, get them repaired. In most cases this is the best solution rather than finding new drivers that "almost" match the specs. I agree, we need to know the exact type or model number to advice you further. Martin

Welcome to Beoworld ! Your Beogram is showing typical symptoms of aging and dried out capacitors. A kit is available (from me) for curing this. While in there, it would make good sense to check for craked solders, especially at the main board edge connectors but also where the ribbon cable goes from the processor housing to the main board and in the

The contacts in the speaker sockets. Careful prodding a little using a very tiny screwdriver you will be able to increase contact pressure. Martin

Beløbet er utroligt svært at fastsætte. Det afhænger i høj grad af, om den rette køber kan findes. Den højeste pris findes nok internationalt (læs: Asien osv.) men der er jo også en dyr porto forbundet med en eventuel eksport og Postdanmark er jo ikke ligefrem ude på at skaffe sig flere

Not the worst sounding speakers. A couple of different versions were made but they will all have foam rot. Fixable though and I may even have a couple of woofers lying around. Price seems very fair, especially if they are cosmetically fair. The front grill is glued on and will need careful levering off using a flat wide screwdriver and a spatula to
