There was a time when RAM Labs sold new foam kits for the Beveridges
Roger passed in 2019, and I am sure that there were none left...
Great speakers - though I preferred the 2 SW2

we rebuilt a lot of these in the late '80/early '90s - tedious, but worth it!
Happy Listening

  Do you know anyone who can stretch the mylar now? Rick Beveridge is not around as far as I can tell. Did Music Reference go to the grave with Rodger?

  How were you rebuilding them? The amps or panels or both?

    Both
    
    RAM Labs - Roger Modjeski
    He designed the amp and worked for Harold for a number of years
    Roger also designed the RM 1/2 PreAmp and RM 3 active crossover-
    
    We serviced them all back in the day-
    I am not an EE, so I mostly potted transformers and replaced parts, cleaned up equipment and rebuilt the speakers...
    It is not hard - but there are some parts that are necessary to stretch the Mylar etc.
    
    Amps - well they are a bit touchy, what with the high voltage and the heat that the tubes generated - we tended to fire them up on a variac with a dummy load, make a few test measurements, then turn them off and wait three days before we touched them again....
    Happy Listening
