I agree with the above responses regarding the repairs - they don't seem worth it since the MMG's are available for such a reasonable price. I had a pair of MG1's that I sent back to Magnepan in the early 90's to have refurbished. They sounded fine, but a few years back, I bought a pair of MMG's and although they were physically smaller in size than the MG1's, I thought the MMG's sounded better. I later traded up to the 1.6's. Good luck.
