Speaker repair (re-foam) has anyone had this done? Recommend a vendor?

[ScoobMaster]

Has anyone had their speaker woofers re-foamed? I have a pair of excellent-sounding Mission 762 speakers that I am using in my living room (still hooked to my 1986 NAD 7020e receiver!) I bought these in 1988 and they have served me VERY well through the years, but yesterday I started to hear a distint "click" on heavy bass while watching Battlestar Galactica. I removed the grille cover - cracked and dry-rotted foam


Can someone recommend a place to pull the woofers and send them for re-foaming? The cones look fine, it is just the foam that has rotted. I hate to give them up (they look and sound great - nice cabinets!)

Thanks for any help!

you can probably purchase the foam yourself and do the work.

I don't think it's too difficult.

try googling.

You can get the stuff from partsexpress.com and refoam it yourself.

Maybe refoam the speakers is the task for the man in the family a.ka. Mrs. Scoob

Thanks - doesn't look too difficult. This begs the quesition though, are all foam kits roughly equal (I am going to guess no!)

I have had speakers refoamed before by a local music shop,they did a great job,problem solved,cost like 25$ per(15").Call around.

Heh..I was quoted $100-ish to refoam a pair of 12s or 15s (part of a 3way)...good thing we didn't go for it..
