M19 re-pro horn foam surrounds

Altec Model 19 horn foam surrounds - eBay (item 110504022519 end time Mar-14-10 19:35:49 PDT)

I bought a pair of these and I'm not real satisfied with how they fit. They overhaning into the horns outlet. Probably easy to modify.......
The foam is also hard....not soft like I'm sure the originals were.

Anyone else try these?

I'll have to give a listen........but I think I could have done better buying felt. My horns don't need de-ringing. They are covered with sand and latex paint and are dead like wood.

I thought this was the same folks. Already spent the cash, sometimes I'm an idiot.

Why not contact the sellers and tell them about your problem with them?.. It does say in that ad you linked that the foams are a "perfect fit".. If you're not satisfied, or have questions about why they are not fitting exactly in your application, you should give a go at seeing what the seller may advise and or rectify

I second this sentiment on all accounts.

Sorry Ron, If you bought them off ebay within the last 6 years, they weren't "ours". We stand behind our product, and offer 100% satisfaction in the fit and look. Our foams sell for $55.00, plus s&h. We used to offer them on ebay years ago, but the demand diminished, so we discontinued the auction. We understand there is a Mr. Bill, out of Fla. who is now on ebay selling the foams for $109.00 -- Sorry if you were taken in by him, and I would defininitely contact him, and let him know of your dis-satisfaction of the product, you obviously haven't entered a negative ebay response to the product, as this guy has a very high rating, good luck, sincerely, Paul & Debbie Darst

I just got my foams from the Darst's and I am very pleased. The workmanship is absolutely professional. It took a month to get them and I was starting to get a little worried about getting ripped off but apparently when you deal with the Darst's you have to be patient.

It wouldn't hurt if they sent a message saying, "We received your Money order and we will build your foams when we get to them, along with an estimated completion date.

However I am glad I found them here and I no regrets. Thanks Paul and Debbie for your excellent work and superior product. I hope you are still around if I get old enough to need another set. Hell, I hope I am around to need another set.
