That is awsome where did you find the material? Also how did you do the letters - I am contemplating doing mine sometime soon and would be more than happy if it looked that good :)

Here is a pic of one of my RL 140's that I recovered myself a while back. Hadn't put the straps on yet.

Think I got the colour virtually identically as well as the texture of the material.

If everyone filled in their "location" in their profile we would all know that!!

I would so want to pick them up, but I am in Iceland :(

I've got a pair that you can have for nothing!!!

All you have to do is come and collect them from Ely, Cambridgeshire, UK

How much would a nirmal price for used ones be?

Only the woofers suffer from foam rot. The midrange has a rubber surround. The I was able to refoam my pair without issue. Rather inexpensic

Iconic AV's replacement straps are very good in my opinion.

I received a pair of straps from them for some RL60.2's and they are as good as originals, except for there being no print on the straps.

No just the rubber surrounds and testing

Beowulf:

I had my driver surounds replaced by Recone Labs as mentioned above,all four cones came to about£250, they did a wonderful job returning them with rubber surrounds.

Seems like a lot of money did they replace the coil and spider etc...? I do know they have (had?) a good reputation though!

Hello, replacement straps are available from Iconic AV. There is no lettering as on the originals but these will work.

I am thinking about getting this amp. How do you think they would sound with it?

The honest answer is I don't know!

I've only had contact with one pair that had rot and the guy sent them to Recone in Huddersfield UK to be fixed.

I assume it was the bass drivers.

Hi Graham...So on the "foam rot".....

1) which of the drivers suffer from this???

2) Are the foam surrounds available?? if so where and how much...

Thanks,...Keith
