Ive got a choice of two coming my way by the same seller but just have to wait until he's ready & has time to post me the pics. But yeah I wld say before the mth end. But want to learn how to refoam so I can save money.  Need to study some vid footage.

Thanks Lav. I just hope that the Aiwa I get is gonna be an E or a K model cause apparently they have FM LW & MW digital radio whereas the U & H model has just AM FM radio

lav.loo - 2013-01-13 02:56

i would imagine it will be an E or K  model if your buying from a european member, i'm sure U and H is the US versions?

Yeah Lav, its coming from Germany, apparently this guy is meant to be sound.
And also packs well. So let's see if he is as good as his Rep suggest he is.

lav.loo - 2013-01-13 03:14

iv'e traded with a german member before and packing and evarything was A1, fingers crossed for ya mate

Well that sounds like a good recommendation, Germans have a good rep, especially for electronics/Car manufacturing  etc. Mercedes, Audi.

There are tons of videos on youtube about how to refoam a speaker.
Here is one of them:

You might have the first try on a test speaker, not on the important ones.

Hey NevOne thanks for the heads up on the refoaming vid learnt a great deal. @ 1st I thought there was smthg wrong with the vid cause there was no sound but realised thats how it was made. But otherwise very good vid, thanks again.

Btw, in the vid it mentioned that u had to use nail polish remover to get rid of the sponge/ rubber material away from the speaker mounts /surronds  but it never mentioned what type of glue was used, which i think is equally as important.
