Although we have plenty of information and materials available to refurbish all kind of Quad panels, information about rebuilding old Martin Logan panels is very scarce - mostly a few isolated posts in the ML owners and DIYaudio forums. For a long time, the ML replacement panels were very inexpensive, but currently panels for a few great old models are no more available and those still available are very expensive.

Does any one have experience with ML panel restorers located in Europe?

Not me, but a good friend I would like to help. He owns the old Re-Quest. I have helped him successfully re-building ESL63 panels, he would like to do the same for them or having them refurbished with minimal shipping cost.

Can’t help with ReQuest, have a pair of brand new CLS panels i bought years
ago as spares. I remember using a hot air gun or hairdryer on the glued
cross-strips to tighten up the panelso_OSometimes giving them a good vacuum actually does the trick.
