Where can one purchase lead shot for speakers?


Hi,

I'm putting together a new system and just purchased a pair of Von Schweikert VR4jrs. They will arrive in about a week so I am trying to prepare everything for their arrival. This is the first pair of speakers that I will own that take lead shot to improve their bass. I have no idea where to even start looking for a place to purchase the shot. Can anybody tell me where I might find some? I live on the Big Island of Hawaii and I'm really hoping to be able to buy it locally as opposed to having it shipped in since it would be very costly to do so.

Thanks,

Bill

I guess you dont walk across the street for fear of getting hit by a car...

The odds are greater for that or getting hit by lightning then any issues with lead shot. I'd like to ask where you get your infomation from and statistics (If you can even find any) on how many people got sick or died from lead shot...
Just like the government. They make up rules and regulations without knowing what their doing. When you make statements of fact, be prepared to be called on it.

I've been around a long time and saw how eggs and milk were bad for you and then good for you again....
for damping speakers and stands...Again, No one can provide specifics that anyone using it for Stand or Speaker damping has harmed themselfs or the environment

The statistics are on my side. More people get hurt driving or walking across the street.

So I say if you want to use led, use it! it works well
They could not provide any statistics of death or illness related cases reported to them. They had no other statistics other than children under 6. And those stats reflect that out of 23 million children 8000 had levels higher than 10, and less then 64 had levels above 50, which is the level that can cause illness and seizures. NO reported deaths

I have the stats if you want them
I have the same conclusion as Joey lawn, someone has an ax to grind or an agenda when its related to Lead

CDC - 202-564-7873
The header was cut off, I did the research yesterday. I contacted the EPA and CDC.
Kenyonbm,

I'm glad you want the world to be a better place and respect your determination.
This is a discussion and as you present your opinion I present mine.

Placing restrictions and limitations without proof only hurts. Just because their are government regulations doesn't mean we have to drink the cool-aid and not challenge them from time to time.

In this instance, these regulations and opinions hurt people who have lead filled stands and speakers and wont be able to sell them or have to sell them at a reduced price, due to statemts like yours or for people who want the freedom of choice to purchase lead shot for ammo,speakers and stand damping.

The US (CDC and EPA) or you cant provide any statistics on people getting sick or dying from lead filled stands or speakers or handling ammo.

I have checked the stats, facts and figures and in fact the incidents for sickness are so low that its not even documented for ages 6 and up, their are only stats for children exposed to open lead from paint at a ratio of 64 children out of 23 million getting high enough levels to have seizures.

So you might rather peruse trying to stop people from smoking, drinking, making love, driving cars, going to the movies; more of an issue than having lead in their speakers or stands

Your goal is to make the world a better place without lead, if you want to be persuasive be ready to provide statistics to back it up, not just that their are regulations by some agency that was funded to provide jobs.

I can prove their are no reported deaths from lead poisoning based on documents from the CDC and EPA.

I'll be glad to send them to anyone who wants them
