    Are these hard to find?

    Tried a few searches and not much appeared.
    I bought a pair of 4311 B from the original owner today and need to replace one LE 25 and two LE5-10 mid range. The midrange speakers appear to be scarce. Is this so or is it just me? One woofer has a small tear. What would be the best repair without reconning? These speakers work but look poor to a small tear and dented/torn dust caps.

    For $40.00 for the pair I can afford to invest a little to save these vintage JBL's. Came with 2 original technical manuals in mint condition too boot.
    Thanks

    Ebay listings

    I did see the LE 25's listed and will most likely bid on a pair of those.

    My LE 5-10 are not listed on ebay. Is there a big difference between the LE 5-2, 5-5, 5-6, 5-9 etc? I would like to keep them as close to original as possible.

    On another note, what would suggest to ues for the small tear in the woofer? Hate to refoam a woofer for a small tear if it wouldn't affect performance. Thanks for your reply.

    The LE5-6,8,10,12 are indentical in spec appart from the colour. From memory the 6 and the 10 are black and the 8 and the 12 are silver.

    Elmer's glue, as long as it isn't in the surround area.

    That area gets most of the action. It has worked for me. I thin it down with a drop or two of water before applying, to leave as little residual as possible. Others may suggest different solutions.
