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

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.

Just don't eat it for breakfast every day. Sheesh, let's get real. Anything might kill you if you ingest enough of it. Loading up your speakers or stands with it will not. Putting insulation in your attic isn't supposed to be good for you either but I've never heard of anyone dying from it. By the way, when I sold my VR4jrs, I told the guy I put lead shot in them and that I was going to remove it before I shipped them. I wasn't worried in the least that the guy would "freak out" over it.

Bill,
Did you try Sports Authority,Kmart, Walmart?
Also, you might try Melton's by the old Chevron and around the Harbor shops.
