So it was the surrounds not the voice coils?

Yes, I found it. I bought it on ebay in 2006. They cosy usd 18.50 plus postage.
The link no longer worked , but I see it was called a refoiming kit. They seem to call the rubber rings "foam".
I also seem to recall there are people that will rebuild them for you as well.

Heybrook HB1s here too (wired to my PC as well as my turntable, a Thorens TD166 MKII)

Nice kit @marantz1300  Way back in the 1970s, I had a Supex 900 cartridge [in an LP12 with a Rega arm].  Absolutely the best sound I ever got from vinyl.  As your system is 'old', the Linn suspension is likely to need adjustment.  In fact a full service for the LP12 is called for.  The Supex can be reconditioned by the makers, ask your local Linn dealer.  It is worth it believe me.  The Naim phono stage is the bottleneck in your system.  Any modern stand alone unit, Tom Evans for example, will trash it at 100 paces.

I only ever heard one pair of JR149s.  Circular cabinets IMSMR.  But great sound and worth reconditioning if you can get the drivers.

Interesting to hear the Heybrook talk, I have HB2's and the "not really a linn" TT2 turntable all live in the loft!
