Hello, Due to the suggestion of an associate of mine, I have joined this forum in the attempt to gain assistance/advice with my B&O issue.
Back in 1981 I purchased a system 8000 to include the stand/table a pair of MS-150 speakers and the 3 components. I have had this stored in my dry basement for the past 20 years and just recently had the urge to "pull it out" (sorry about the pun on words here).
The first thing I did was to carefully open the boxes which held one speaker each. When i removed the two lower grills, I was disappointed to see that almost all of the foam was deteriorated and with a touch of my finger it quickly turned into a pile of debris.
I have located some "replacement" parts on e-Bay (or so they seem to be replacement parts), but I am leery to attempt such an undergoing myself and would like to see if someone in this forum, might suggest a shop here in New England which could do this repair for me. OR, suggest the CORRECT replacement parts for these Beovox MS-150 speakers. I would not attempt such a task if these Speakers did not look like new, as they do. The stands were taken off while these were in storage and the rosewood finish looks like it did the day these left the factory. All six (6) sections of the grills are flawless with no imperfections.
Any advice would be appreciated as I really want to save these Beautiful Speakers and restore them back to their original shape/condition.
I just want to do this once in my lifetime and I am sure better materials are available at this point in time to assist me in this endeavor!
Your input and advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance for your considerations.....
