Hi Graham,

I actually know quit a bit about science. Don't dissect my words and please
and stick to the spirit of the post.

The spirit of the post is that there are numerous accounts of service
technicians that have encountered asbestos (padding, dampening material,
fiberfill, fiberglass, you name it) in early vintage AR speakers.

Why are you so sure that it is not true? I've heard and read the
assertions...what are the facts?

Some posts have suggested that they have never encountered asbestos
containing materials in an AR speaker that they took apart or rebuilt. Is
there anyone on this newsgroup that has any concrete evidence that they have
seen asbestos containing materials in any speaker (not just AR) that they
have taken apart and how would you know what it was if you saw it?

I have been told and have been reading about asbestos used in AR speakers
(maybe others). Does anyone know when AR used fiberglass that may have
contained asbestos and what circa speakers might contain asbestos i.e. is
there any reference that you know of that indicates which AR model
numbers
might contain asbestos and the year of manufacture?

Any information you might have on the use of materials containing
asbestos
in vintage speakers would be on interest to me.

Asbestos has never been used in speakers AFAIK.

Fibreglass has no relationship to asbestos whatever. Fibreglass does not
contain
asbestos. Learn some basic science please.
