Where to buy original dust caps?

lawdogg · January 2016

Looking specifically for a MW6502 from a M7 v.2. It was pushed in, I tried to vacuum it out and various other tricks before finding out it had become hard and brittle. So I removed it - wondering where to find an original dust cap to replace it?

(Yes those are RD0198s in the boxes!)

Thanks,
Ryan

This looks promising:

Also, Parts Express carries dust caps. I'm afraid Polk won't have them, the complete drivers, yes, but not individual parts.

The original dust cap is approximately 1 5/8" screen, lip down. Very hard to find. You may have to cut down a large screen dust cap, and use a solvent type glue to attach it.

Thanks - I ended up using a dust cap from an MW6500 from my M10a's that turned out to have a shifted magnet, which I ruined trying to reset resulting in an open voice coil.

Good news is the MW6502 is fine, but anyone have a good MW6500 (bare frame, paper surround piece over the rubber) that'll work in a Monitor 10a? I'll trade you an MW6502!
