Hi,

My older brother asks me if his Jensen model 20 could have be saved from gardbage by a little restoration. The foam surrounds of the boomers need a swap.

I know there are a lot of bookshelf speakers more much better those days but here it is about souvenirs... him first speakers and the first I heard when I was a child🙂.

I surmise it's not easy to find a cheap foam surround kit or a sillicon one... I mean no matter if the Qms is changed because here it's about a third hifi system....

I saw by luck than Banzai shop in Germany sells Jensen drivers also !

Notice the nice paper mid-tweet driver with the phase plug in paper and in the same part ! And also the rear front grill on the photograph : thin metal with glued fabric on it... very near a stator design !

Any idea please ? Foam kit or driver swap ? surmise a high Qts as it's a little sealed speaker. XO is 4K hz 😱 ( we don't buy a Satori driver for such speaker😀). Midlle to middle suround the diameter is 15.5 cm (sorry for the " !)

In my memory the sound was nice and soft.... Have to be cheap of course due to the speaker !

Thanks in advance

cheers

Eldam
