Are you looking for a pair or single 626R? I have a very nice pair of Rosewoods with FS tweeters and Megawoofer that I purchased from John. They’ve been sitting unused for some time. Original boxes and one grill included (tabs broke off the other grill). I can send photos if you’re interested. Ken
I really only need one but would take a pair depending on how much you want and where you are. I'm sure the pictures you posted are fine except my vision is so bad I can't tell anything about them. My 110" screen is about the only thing I see anymore and even then I lose track of things under fast action. Is it that you no longer have the second grill or that s is just broken? Sorry for the slow reply but I didn't catch the notification message.
OK, I have a set of 626JR's coming in. One has a blown tweeter but I know that the FST tweeter was an option and they are still available. My question is if the FST version had any crossover changes or was it a drop-in upgrade? Misco still makes the woofer that came with the JR if I need those. Lower power and no phase plug but with an 80hz crossover to the subs that probably doesn't matter too much. I don't remember what midrange panel was being used in 1998 when these were made but I guess I'll find out. I really hope those are good since I know a panel change means new crossovers too.
I think crossover is pretty close but, here are values for FST tweeter .25mH coil, 1.32uF - 1.36uF capacitor
I need to downsize my system a bit so unfortunately that means letting go of my VMPS. I have some RM40s, a RM30 Center, a sub, and 3-4 monitors. I also have several spare ribbon speakers. I am selling all of the above along with an Earthquake Sounds Cinenova 3 for $500 USD - as is. I have no intentions to ship, so the buyer would need to pick up the equipment from my home in Dallas. I am posting here first in the hopes that someone who loves VMPS will give them a good home.

If it is an FST tweeter, it is likely just the ribbon that is bad. It is a $6 part https://www.parts-express.com/Aurum-Cantus-G2Si-Replacement-Ribbon-276-401?quantity=1 and fairly strightforward. I posted the instructions for performing replacement from Aurum Cantus along with my notes to help with operation. With you site challenge you may be able to find a friend locally who can perform for you. Also if it is just the ribbon, you could send to me and I will replace for you.
Dear VMPS owners and fans, This is just question to gauge interest in a special run of Misco LLC62W-8A woofer. These came in RM30s and I'm pretty sure 626R and there may be others (LRC?) The more people who express an interest the better chance we can get this done and the more the price per unit will go down. Right now there has to be a firm commitment for 10 units to bring the cost down to $100 per speaker. If somebody wants to take over keeping track of who wants in and for how many that would be great since I'm legally blind and really don't want to try to read and keep track of emails.
