A rebuilder in Tennessee seemed to think its tensioning, he was right! They usually go dead or buzz according to the rebuilder.
He gave me instructions on how to tension and was confident I wouldnt need to send them to him.
I felt it was worth the risk after speaking to the rebuilder. Besides, the speakers were mint with original boxes, manual and used for a home theater system so they saw very little use.

So you bought the speakers and fixed the RD48 driver yourself?
What was involved in the repair?
I retensioned the ribbons, at the same time I resoldered ribbon end connections.
Not sure which fixed it but I assume it was the tensioning
I'd be really interested to hear how one "retensions" the AL III ribbons.
Did you take pics? I am curious to see the insides of the driver.
