Hi All,
My first request. I have 2 pairs of Tannoy 605 speakers. One pair works fine and is cosmetically good with the exception of a piece broken out of one of the plastic plintths. The other pair work well enough (although the tweeters have lost their domes) but are cosmetically only suitable for the workshop. My query is how do I remove the plastic plinth from these speakers? I'd love to swap the broken one for one that is intact but cant work out how. There are three cover caps on the base, although only one covers a screw and that is into the central spine that runs up the inside of the cabinet. I suspect the plinth is bonded to the cabinet which means it is probably not removable. It might be a job for epoxy filler and a wet winter weekend!
Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.

Greets!
FWIW, unless I figure I can make a seamless repair, then assuming there's nothing visible from the inside, I would use a dremel wheel disc or similar to slice the back of it in two to find the right solvent to soften the glue and see how hard/brittle it is to pry off.

Thanks GM, it wouldn't be the first time Mr Dremel had to come to my rescue! However you have given me an idea. It might be possible to cut out a section of bad plinth and a matching section of good plinth and "glue" a piece in with black epoxy. (It's a pity that the missing piece straddles one of the facets so a corner is involved.) Any less destructive ideas out there?
