Hi all

I managed to get a pair of ESL57's.
Panels play equal volume, luckily.
So, I have started to take them apart to start a slow refurb.
Feet and side panels are being sanded and redone.
Front and rear grills removed for cleanup and trying to get some dents out of the front panel.

The one bass panel has a small tear, this leaves me with two options:
1: Repair the tear with tape, which tape and where do I obtain it?

2: Remove dustcover and do a new one, this leaves me to source the right plastic and thickness. Does anyone know where I can get some of this locally?

So, which option and then where can I obtain said meterials?

Alternatively, is there an expert in the Cape that has done this before and are willing to tackle this?

Thanks
