Hi to you all. Call me Marty. I am new to this forum so if this is trite or in the wrong place please forgive me.

I acquired a pair of L100T3 that have had a rough life. My intent is to rebuild the cabinets to their former glory and perhaps tweak the sound. The problems with the speakers range from a dried out and stained (but no chips!), one is missing the tweeter with the other needing a new dome and foam, a missing midrange isolation cup (whatever the correct term is for this), and a need of new foam on the woofers.

I have the two 052Ti tweeters on the way. I have the foam for the woofers and am cutting my teeth on foam replacement with a pair of LX44s I got for cheap. So far so good. I do need to find the isolation cup for the midrange driver. I could rob one from the LX44 but I would rather have the original. Any suggestions?

A couple other questions regarding the cabinets. I have read that roofing felt is very good for interior lining. Would this be applied (glued or stapled) behind the mass of fiberglass or does this replace the fiberglass leaving the cabinet open?

I have some extremely nice hardwood of various species available for my use. I am planning on building some TT plinths. But I am also interested in knowing the implications of using solid hardwood as a cabinet as apposed to MDF board. If I go this route I may not stick with the L100T3 design but may design according to my own likes but use components from the LxxxT series or perhaps the JBL monitor series. Still thinking about this one.

So in short I am looking for the isolation cup for the midrange driver and would like to know about hardwood vs MDF board.

Thanks
