A few years ago I purchased the Famous/Infamous Baobab Cambridge R50s, from someone near Langley Mill, and set about restoring them. Its been a very stop/start story and its time to do some more work.
Is there anyone in the UK who makes/can make the front panels for these speakers. The originals are fitted with openings for the Racetrack B139s and I would like to fit the later type. Any info would be gratefully received.
I also wish to get rid of/ pass on, the original Baobab expanded metal speaker grilles. Anyone interested? I am in the SK22 postcode, just south of Stockport.
Thanks for reading.

Phew, that looks like a labour of love to me! 😀
Wilmslow in Leicester might be able to knock up front baffles with rebates for you:
Cabinets
Presumably they unscrew. Is there no chance of fitting a new bass without excessive carpentry? You can do a lot with a sharp chisel and a jigsaw or fretsaw. B&Q cut timber to size too. It's a free service. You get half a dozen cuts when you buy chipboard.

Thanks for the info, I had completely forgotted about Wilmslow Audio, I will trt them. I would like to keep the original baffles just in case. If they can produce the front baffle I will post so anyone can use them.
