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

I believe that both of the drivers are proprietary to Spendor, and it is likely that special cement and jigs are needed for assembly. That is probably why they want to sell you new drivers.
Considering the original cost of the speakers, probably at least $5000.00 dollars when new, $1500.00 is really not that bad to replace four of the six drivers.

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!

I have had 2 pairs of S 100s since about 1990 and both are still working perfectly.
