Post Subject: Email from Production Manager of Fane InternationalPosted by oxric on: 3/30/2011

As I mentioned above, I talked to the manager of Fane International and asked for further assurances in writing that these new drivers would use exactly the same parts as the vintage drivers. I am quoting from the email, and I hope this will provide some degree of reassurance to those who still doubt these drivers can be the same as the vintage Studio 8M drivers.Words in bracket are corrected for spelling mistakes as she must have been typing quite fast.

"Hi Rakesh

As per (conversation) today. I can guarantee that all the parts in the new STUDIO 8M.8 Speaker will be the same as the original ones that were used to manufacture them 20 years ago. As I advised earlier today the only thing that we can not (supply) on these speakers is the rubber tyre trim on the magnet. However, this does not at all alter the performance of the speaker.

Magnets are the same .Coils, Suspensions are the same, Cone is the same and dust caps are the same. Hope this is enough information for you to place a new order with us. (Also), can you please let Daniel Barnes (know) if you want the ones you sent back repairing? Please bear in mind that to make 50 more of these we would need at least 4 weeks lead time. This is to enable me to buy all the right components.

Regards,
Susan Goodyear
Production Manager "
