Howdy, Dont worry about it unless you blow it. Never seen a bad 1 of about 30 rebuilds.

Its unlikely you'll ever have to worry about them.

The mid tone speakers have rubber surrounds, unlike the bass units.

They can also be a sod to remove, so its not worth doing, unless like me you replaced the front half of the speakers and had to move everthing across to the new ones.

Thanks Brian and Martin,

So I don't need to speculate about renovating the middletone speker, nice to know. Next step will be renovating the crossover with new capacitors.

Nor have I - but then my experience is limited to the one pair I have owned for well over 20 years - almost 25 now!!!

In all the RL140's I've done, I never saw a midrange driver in need of attention.

RL140 renovation, midtone question

Nis — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 10:23:21 GMT

Hi,

I'm currently replacing the foam on my RL140's woofers. The first two are finish and works well, no center problem.

Now I'm wondering, if the midtone ITT speaker has to be done. Why I'm asking, is that I can't get the speaker out of the cab. I have opened the seperate midtone cab and removed the four screws from the speaker, but it seems the the speaker is also glued to the front. I don't want to try remove it to find out the speaker is a rubber speaker and don't need repair.

Any able to tell, if the midtone is rubber or foam and need to be repaired. If foam, how to get it loose from the glue?

Best regards

Nis
