I finally found a pair of Beovox M100 speakers for the M100 stands I bought a couple of years ago. It has taken a while to find a set here.

I set them up in a spare listening room to try them out. The speakers are in really nice shape. The cabinets could use a little refinishing but they are fine as is for now.  The sound is really good.  I have them paired with my refurbished MS150.2 set of speakers.

One problem with the new speakers is the grill covers have some broken mounting pegs. Has anyone repaired the pegs or know of a good repair option for them?

Here is a picture of the M100-2 set as I received them. They were packed really well inside a molded Styrofoam case.

I would machine them from Nylamid (PVC) or steel, and make the foot a little bigger to have more glue area.

Send me dimensions and pic, and I can make them , and drop them in the mail when finished

That would be fantastic Søren.  I will get the dimensions and send them to you (with pics) right away.

Thanks!

I made 12 pegs for John (Sonavor), the epoxy and rawl plug way is OK, I have done that where only 1 or 2 was broken/missing.

But in Johns speakers 9 pcs are broken or missing. So I made all of them in aluminum, I was looking for a brass rod (I love the brass look, when polished up nice), Also Nylamide was considered, as I thought I still had some in the shack, but not so.

Here the last 7 (out of 12), as I didnt have the dimension for the base peg I made them all a little longer than needed, they can be cut easily with a side cutter to correct length

In the lathe, the minimum for my lathe chuck is 3 mm. so I had to think twice before starting.

You do great work Søren. I am looking forward to installing them.
In the meantime, I have been listening to the M100's for a few days and I really like them. They are quickly becoming one of my favorites.
