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

Are you dealing with Spendor or with the American importer? I recently had an importer ask me to pay $400 for an IC that was avalable in quanities of 10 from a large supply house for $40 each. I eventually bought 2 for $64 on ebay. The importer's defense was " that he had to make a living". The current Spendor SP 100 cost is above $10,000. On the other hand the Tweeters in the S 100 are Scanspeak and go for $60 each; I replaced a pair last year. I think they are the same as the ones in the SP 100; the rest of the drivers are the same.

Stanwal,
The current price $10,000 is for SP100R2 which is different
with 1st generation S100 and 2nd generation SP100

I would appreciate if you have the connection where to get the mid and woofer for SP100!

How will not have factory spec drivers impact the potential resale value of the Spendors?

I own or have owned three different versions of the S100 series, all purchased used, and I'm not sure I would even buy a Spendor at a steep discount if it didn't have factory drivers?

Not that different from what I can see. I use to be a Spendor dealer but not currently one. I am a dealer for other products brought in by the current importer so I see price lists and technical info. The best bet would be to get them direct from England; you might check on the Spendor forum on Yahoo to see if anyone on there could help you or contact a Spendor dealer in England.
