I should have asked this from the start, why do you need new surrounds? Rubber surrounds last for multiple decades.

Just save yourself the headache and buy a whole new driver.
Call Polk customer service and tell them your problem and tell them you are a member of the forum.

no one is willing to part with theirs. so what's a person to do???

I really don't understand why this question keeps coming up since I have expended considerable time and effort posting the vast majority of the Compendium's contents right here on the forum. Schematics, modification tips, series history, etc., are all right here.

I understand the disappointment and frustration of those who missed out on the earlier Compendium printings, but really, minimal effort is required to find just about whatever information one might need from either prior forum posts or member inquiry.:)

Any chance of a 3rd edition or a soft copy?

For soft copy, refer to my answer above. A 3rd edition is certainly possible, but not likely. I don't think people realize how time consuming such a project is. It's not something you can knock out during a few hours on the weekend. That is, not if you don't want it to look like a weekend hack job. Most people don't even want to expend the minimal effort required to look up information on the forum. I'm sure you can understand my reluctance to devote another several months and weeks of part-time effort to publish another one of these.

The only Compendium related projects I have planned are:

1. Go back through the 1st and 2nd editions to compile errata sheets listing the typos and post those on the forum.

2. A few rich SDA cultists insisted on hardcover 2nd Editions and I complied with their requests. I'll probably make a hardcover copy of the 2nd Edition for myself, but it's not way up there on my lists of audio projects.

Yes, I've noticed. Don't quite know what to make of that.;)
