This link on my Picasa webalbum shows you the way how I did reclothing my Beovox RL140's.
Lots of pictures...and there must be a slide option when you're in Picasa
Just to give you an idea how big these monsters are...
Brengen & Ophalen
looks nice Leslie!! good work!
My first thought was: how is the "bang & olufsen" text on the fret made... now I know, and how it is reclothed too
which size of a RL speaker is equal or better sound wise compared to a CX100?
I guess all of them? I don't know to be honest, but I will compare them with my CX100's cause I have them all. Will let you know..
Great job on them, Leslie. I think I'll have a go at my RL140s now. What kind or double stick tape are you using?

Get the right one, I used a double tape, it was promised to stick on everything for years and came off after one week.
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
Beautiful work as usual Leslie. I appreciate the detailed pictures. I too have a few questions though. 1. What brand of double-sided tape?2. It appears that you brushed some sort of glue on and around the Bang & Olufsen logo first (makes sense - I sprayed on some 3M sticky glue on my first RL140 job). What kind of glue do you use for that?3. In your finish steps, what is it that you are brushing on to the plastic frame?Thanks,sonavor

Thanks Sonavor!
1) Tesafix Tesa 4965, use Ebay.de to get them cheap. Don't buy them at Conrad, far to expensive!
2) Bison spray Please note that you have to wait for a minute or two before applying the cloth, or else the glue will appear throught the cloth!!
3) HG sort of spray (wax) used for shining furniture. I use that for almost all materials like aluminium, plastic, wood...
Thanks "DMacri", I guess you alreay read the answer on Sonavors reply? Good luck doing yours
Don't use to thick fabric for the cloth....
Leslie, Nice job and great photo sequence .
Nice job, I did onetime White/White 60s with 3M sprayglu, but it had difficulties to stay on. Got to check this Bison
blah-blah and photographs as needed
Orava: Nice job, I did onetime White/White 60s with 3M sprayglu, but it had difficulties to stay on. Got to check this Bison
That's why the fabrick must be as thin as possible!

This is where I get my cloth on Ebay.com. Can be thinner though!

Yes, it was. More exercises then...
very good job as always! Those RL's deserve a new life. Clever to use double sided tape! Emboss the B&O text is hard to do isn't ?
I like those DIY pictures it will help. I wish we could place these DIY tuts in a separate Item on this forum.
Hi!
Truly inspiring pics!
In the picasa album you are using a green tape which I assume is s foam tape? Is it the same used for BC glass panels? Where do you buy it?
Best regards,
Mikael

They can be placed in the Wiki's but someone has to do it

Yes it is but I'm not using this tape for glasspanels, much to thick...

Why are you Soren?
Thanks for uploading these pics Leslie!
I have the middle sized ones in black though. I want to recloth them in light grey or white.
You did a great job and like you, I was already aware of the bison sprayglue which is perfect to use for these kind of projects. I did them once, but wasn't satisfied with the fabric, this looks much better.

Thank you Michel. Are you sure you want to do it in white or grey? It's quite contagious for stains you know, but great looking!
Leslie:Why are you Soren?
Take a wild guess Leslie
What's you're link with Beoworld other then posting threads? Serious, did I missed something here?

As we make these thread one time after the other, and answer the same questions the one time after the other, why not make a Wiki like this one and then just post the link when people are asking. The threads tends to disappear in the mass.
Hi
Leslie: This is where I get my cloth on Ebay.com. Can be thinner though!
Is this anywhere near to CX fret? I need for white CX´s.
Hello Leslie! I know this is a pretty old thread but the Picasa album is not working anymore and I was wondering if you still had the photos somewhere :)
Thanks!
Does anyone have any copies of the detailed guide as the link doesn't seem to work for me?
Many thanks,
Dave
