Hi Dave,

Being has the R-90 is fitted with a Rainbow Mk 4 (were produced by Music Hire/Kunick Leisure in the mid 1980's) suggests that you reside in the UK.

The Mk 4 was a poor substitute at best and for what ever reason the output package was taken out of the jukebox. I suggest that you look on Ebay for a replacement amplifier the correct size would have been the 130 watt version with the Rowe Ami number of 6-09931-02 however the 125 watt 6-07438-04 could be used.

Get one of the above and abtain the R-90 manual to reinstate the cross overs and speakers to their correct format.

Hi Dave,

They need to be the original speakers or the sound will not be the same. In the case of shot speakers most engineers suggest direct replacement or reconing the orginal speakers.

If you need replacement speakers or any parts contact me off of line.
