Repaired My Vintage Realistic MACH II 15" Woofer


Purchased a pair of these cabinet MACH II speakers back in 1986/87.
While looking for a new woofer to replace the old one, i was excited to find out that speakers can be repaired...



From Ebay, i ordered the repair kit for the MACH II woofers.
The kit come with 2-15" foam rings, and glue. With shipping the cost was $60.00

Should be good for 20 years. Shall we hear how she sounds...
(If you don't have a good set of speakers, or not using headphones, you won't hear the base.)
