Today I have "reclothed" a pair of RL60's. When I opened the cabinet, a metal plate was loose inside the speaker cabinet.
I wonder how this metal plae was attached to the cabinet. I can't find out how it was fixed???? The only way was straight on the cloth?
Please help if you know how it was fixed. Thanks!

Sorry guys, I think I know the answer myself. A sort of cardboard must have been used that was glued both to the metal plate and frame. But where is the cardboard? There was a lot of rubbish inside when I opened it. That could not be the cardboard was it?

Thanks Mika, have seen these threads (not thoroughly though) but I saw pictures where extra speakers has been added in this metal plate. Was that the purpose of this plate to cut holes for new drivers?

Leslie,
never seen drivers in that plate. There are 2 versions of RL60:
One had the ABR Mika mentioned. Looks like that's the one you have: The plate was the radiator and had a foam "ring" like a driver unit. Almost all of those are rotten nowadays.
There was a fix with another plate a little bigger instead that had a sort of plastic tube glued onto and no more foam rings. It was screwed firmly into the frame.
The debris inside of your RL's are the remainders of the foam. It is very hard as the softener disappeared with time. I had a lot of it in my RL60's although they have already been retrofitted with the bigger tube-plates before I got them.
There is a thread somewhere with nice pictures where I learned this beside looking into my RL60s. Had to search toughly to find it. Maybe someone has a pointer and remembers...
Gunther
EDIT: found a picture of my non-ABR version:
BTW: The red cloth matches the "redlines" much better than some fabric-selector-retrofitted M70's

Haven't you noticed Gunther that I changed the RL into WL

Paul:
Leslie, The red cloth looks realy royal on the RL's BTW where did you get the transparent ribbon across the cloth?
One of the lucky ones via this thread
I think he still sells it on Ebay UK. Not sure though...
The red really looks classy, next one will be dark blue. The cloths have been bought in the US, almost similar as the original ones.
Did a lot of CX50's and 100's. Now I have the feeling how to do the embossing the proper way on the RL's with these cloths.
Next project, and I'm in the last stage now, are making glass touch panels for the Beomaster 4500 incl. printing and touch sensitivity

Gunther, does this "radiator" has a function in the speakersystem? What does it do? Thought it was ment for a later upgrading with new drivers.

Any alternatives to put the plate back in place? What kind of material can be used, cardboard maybe?

A 3000-2 no less! Complete with preset cover too! WOW Leslie, that is my dream combo. Congrats to you sir
Right now my 3000-2 is still on the bench, in pieces awaiting parts from online. My BeoMaster 3000-2 is rosewood, type 2402 and a 108Mhz version.
Looking forward to seeing your results on the 4500 panel. I am sure it will turn out great.

That must be a rare version or not Evan?
Will keep you informed about the panels, even if I fail
