I guess it is a job worth doing properly or not at all. I will look into replacing some components too.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/310322.aspxMon, 17 Jan 2011 15:25:30 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:310322chuggsymalone0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/310322.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=310322<p>Thanks Craig for your speedy advice.

I had mine refoamed, didn&#39;t feel I was up to the job of doing it myself. Replaced the capacitors on the crossovers as well.

What you have is a very common condition known as foam rot. You will need a repair kit like this.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a title="LINK" href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=250712571631&amp;ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fi.html%3F_nkw%3D250712571631%26_sacat%3D0%26_odkw%3D250712571631%2BItem%2Bspecifics%26_osacat%3D0%26_trksid%3Dp3286.c0.m270.l1313%26_fvi%3D1&amp;_rdc=1">Beovox S55&#39;s foam rings &amp; glue</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>You will find plenty of threds on here showing you how to fix them. Also worth changing the caps in the crossover too. One of our members (Dillen). can supply these.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Craig<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/310179.aspxSun, 16 Jan 2011 16:19:25 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:310179chuggsymalone0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/310179.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=310179<p>Hello</p> <p>I have just inherited a wonderful Beosystem 5000 complete with Beovox S55 speakers. However the foam on the woofers has perished. Does anyone know whether (and how) to repair or replace them?</p> <p>Richard</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
