Is there anyone that has, or knows how to obtain a replacement grille tab for a Polk Audio Monitor 5jr?

Thanks

    Unavailable.

    The closest product to replace the tree-locks is from Parts Express.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I'm not these are the same as your 5jr. but maybe this will help.

    I ordered mine from Polk for my monitor 10s when I ordered my new tweeters. They probably are the same as the ones Parts Express sells. I wasn't sure what size I needed so I ordered two sizes to be sure to get the right ones.

    The one that fit my monitor 10b is the small one shown on the right in the photo.

    Part #RF9905-1 (Large one on the left) measures about 7/16" in diameter
    Part #RF9932-1 (Small one on the right) measures about 5/16" in diameter

    Hmmm... Parts Express doesn't seem to have these anymore. I hope Polk still has them.

    Good price at PE. I think I paid about $3.50 for 4 without the inserts they plug in to.

    I got those from Parts Express a few months ago. I had to drill the holes in my Monitor 10's out just a bit, not much, to make them fit, but they work fine, as good as new.

    If it's a supporting corner, the post will need to be tweaked but if it's just a side grill guide, no drilling or adjustment is neccesary. The actual guide will fit in the stock hole without modification, it's the "head" of the guide that isn't quite perfect and if you want to use the "cup"...you'll need to drill the frame.

    I did search under the part numbers provided as well as for "treelock", "tree lock", "grill", "grill tab" and "grille tab". How am I supposed to know what they call em? :wink:

    Apparently Polk Audio does stock Treelocks for the monitor 5jr, so I ordered replacements. I am reminded how good it is to be a Polk owner when it is possible to get little trim parts 26 years later...
