Capable of most Vintage
Speaker Repairs such as re-foaming / re-coning.
Shipped in repairs possible, but contact them first.
From their website; "Unlike many
refoam-only services, we will repair whatever may be wrong with the
driver. With older drivers we typically see problems in addition to
rotted foam, including problems with the voice coil and speaker
suspension. All problems are addressed in the reconditioning process.
Also, there are many different types of foam. Not all foam surrounds
will work well on every woofer. We have many different foam products
available to match the original type used. Also, we can custom-cut foam
for odd sized and shaped woofers.
We can repair the B&W 801 woofers, which are no longer supported by B&W,
as well as most other high-end speakers and subwoofers.
We also repair the KEF 103 and 104 series speakers with the internal
woofers."

Hope this info helps. Keep checking as we never know from day to day
what will arrive. Good luck.
PS. The above contacts are merely contacts we have amassed. You would
need to contact them directly with your needs. They may or may not
choose to take on your project based on many factors. We are not
endorsing their services in any manner and any business you choose to
pursue with any of them is at your risk / choice.
If you are one of the above listed companies and want
to modify your listing, or to be added to a category change, categories,
or be removed from the page completely, feel free to contact us.
If you would like your repair facility listed and feel it would be a
'good fit' for the page, feel free to contact us.
One of the most important aspects to sending a unit off for
repair or restoration, is to POSITIVELY INSURE that it has been packed sufficiently &
appropriately for safe transit. You must also inquire as to the ability of the
business that repairs / restores the unit to do the same. This cannot be
assumed. Even professional packaging companies may have 'new hires' that are not
experienced in packing, 'high-mass / fragile' electronics for safe transit, so
you must ask detailed questions as to the packing methods that will be utilized
and ascertain that they will be sufficient.
While transit damaged units are great for our
parts business, almost all damage to shipments is due to inadequate packaging.
They are not making most of these vintage units anymore, and it's a real shame
when we loose another piece, un-necessarily to unprofessional packing. You know
it's going to get 'rough handling', dropped, kicked, ran over, shot at, and
probably involved in a F5 tornado somewhere along the way,
SO PACK IT THAT WAY!
