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

You could try a local repair shop if there is one; I had 8 12" woofers repaired recently. The speaker company that had produced the subs they were in was out of business. If no local shop possibly look for one on the internet. Have you tried the Spendor Forum on the net?

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

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.

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.
