There are many threads about problems with the damping material. The Beolab 8000 and Beolab 4000 had problems.
But what about the Beolab 1? They belong to the same generation, but I never come across about any problems with foam rot? Did they use sth. differen?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Beolab 1 - foam rot
2 replies
The don't use the same baffle foam - that seems to be white, but they did use a self adhesive foam wrap for the cables. I am trying to resore a pair of speakers at the moment, and part of that is cleaning out all the rotten foam. I am currently using iso propanol alcohol to loosen the glue residue from the wrap, wiping with sections of paper towel. Its a very messy and sticky job. If anyone has suggestions as to how to make it easier I am all ears.
I am thinking of using cotton tape to replace it - is that the right product to be using?
One of the speakers doesn't react to a signal - the LED will go green briefly but quickly switches back to red after power is applied.
