Actually I believe the rubber has become brittle from age, I don't think anyone poked a finger through it as it seems to be splitting along a bend in the rubber. Which makes me wonder if I should send them both back for rebuilding (same 30 year old age) -- but that violates the rule of "don't fix it if it isn't broke". And I am still trying to decide if I should use the Forte's or move into the future with a couple of rf-62's and an rc-62 for my new surround sound setup.
How did the repair work for you?
