the plastic lugs which attach the front grilles to my pair of speakers have broken such that the grilles won't stay in place. Currently use sticky tape but doesn't look very professional. Recently restored my whole system which I bought in 1980 and this is the final piece in the puzzle. Any help much appreciated. Chris

Welcome to Beoworld !

If you cannot find good panels, you could try to repair your own instead;
Grind down the remains of the old pins, glue on suitable pieces of wooden dowel pegs and paint black.

As Martin says, repair is possible. If you search the forum, you'll find threads on repairs for speaker grills/pegs. Wood dowels and rawlplugs have been used, epoxied in place, or even machined plastic/acrylic. Maybe another option is 3D printed parts. Best of luck, Dave.

I used Rawlplugs for broken ones on mine - worked a treat and looked very similar to the originals

Hi Peter

What sort of adhesive did you use? Your old MS150s need some TLC!

Cheers

a two-part epoxy such as Araldite will work well.  If you want a dark finish - try 'Liquid Metal'.  It sets as hard as steel and sticks to anything and is almost black once set.
