  I have a pair of beovox 5700 with missing dustcaps, looks like they have disintegrated

contacted BO and all they could provide were specs with no info about dust caps.

So,  I am looking for information as to size and type and where they might be obtained?

any info is greatly appreciated thanks    Oranges

Here are some, or search the web for speaker dust caps.

Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.

Thanks for your input but there is nothing on the site that tells me what size and style I need?

For sizing you sit with the best reference yourself.

My member is on the large side,

but if it were that large I fear I would be very lonely ....

Can't you tell the correct size from the remains and/or traces of the old dustcaps on the cones ?

    Yes, the original glue line looks to be 2 3/4" .

i know the material used for dustcaps 

is made of a specific material for the desired effect?

i am also confused about whether a lipless design was used ?

looking forward to hearing these speakers sound as they were intended.

      Back on the day , when these speakers were new, 

owning a pair of these was akin to owning a Ferrari or the like.

 I drove  a pinto and listened to corresponding stereo equipment .
