Spendor SP100 mid/bass rubber surround

My Spendor SP100 mid and woofer are both broken which must
be replaced. However, Spendor refused to repair or supply the rubber
surround for me to repair by myself. They only agree to provide new
driver but the price is very costly = $5xx for a pair of mid and $1,xxx for
a pair of woofer. I believe Spendor also want to take profit from parts
that's why don' t help to repair or supply parts for your own repair!
This after sales service is really too bad!!!!

Since I can't find the rubber surround for the mid/woofer from my sources, if any expert here knows where to get it to save my SP100
please help!

Thanks

Simon, How did the rubber surrounds on your Spendors get damaged in the first place? The fact that both the woofer and mid need repair suggests that something out of the ordinary occurred, like somebody poking the speakers.

I have had SP100s for over 10 years and they are basically the same as the day I bought them. I would certainly hope that the surrounds will continue for another decade or two without problems.

The SP100s are really nice speakers!

According to my Spendor manual, they keep a record of driver performance characteristics for every speaker they made, so if a driver needs replacement they can sell one that is an exact replacement. Spendor takes great efforts to match drivers precisely---to within 1% I believe---so getting a speaker with the original drivers would be very important IMO. This also explains why the price for a replacement driver might appear high. They are doing more than just selling a speaker that you could buy from a mailorder place.
