Hi,

My Bakelite speaker surround is missing both its horizontal bars. Please could somebody show me some photos and take some measurements of these missing bits (especially the 'M') so I can make something up

Regards
David

Hello David,

This set's a 262 but I think the surround is the same (overall dimensions 209 x 170mm.)

If so:
Distance between upper peaks of the M = 12.5mm.
Between outermost lower points of the M, 27.5mm.
Height of the M 25mm.
Upper bar 6.5mm x 4mm
Lower bar 9 x 4 mm.

Regards,
Paul

David
