Martin recently donated his Videoton Minimax 2 speakers to me, but the foam surrounds on the mid-bass units are completely decayed. Falcon Acoustics recommended Good HiFi in Holland, and they do replacement surrounds for a huge variety of speakers at very reasonable cost, including for the Minimax 2s. So, I have a new pair of foam surrounds coming, along with the correct glue. I've never done this type of repair before, and will be studying the instructions very carefully, but so far Good HiFi's service and communication have been excellent, and I look forward to resurrecting the Minimax 2s. www.goodhifi.com/ Webshop is at www.speakerrepairshop.com/index.php?action=home&lang=EN

Good luck with it! I've done quite a few pairs now but the first ones made me very nervous. Unecessarily so, I now realise, as it's pretty straightforward.

Sorry about that, Hugo. I was trying to remember when I bought them, and it was for when I went to work in Fallingbostel, Germany, in 1984 for a while. They were my portable system speakers. So they've done their time and more. However, they sound pretty good when intact and I'm sure you'll enjoy resurrecting them as a little project. See also my Gale restoration project for a couple of relevant photos.

Good Hi-Fi are a very useful supplier - I used them to source rubber roll surrounds to repair the speakers in by beloved squeezebox boom. Very reasonable prices and good customer service.
Regards, Alex
