Thank you, makes sense. I'll try it

I recently found this Altec 303a on a pallet of "stuff" at an auction. Cosmetically pretty good except the knobs. Fired it up on my variac and all the tubes and bulbs lit up, but no sound. Does anyone have a schematic for this? Thanks

Got a line on a pair of Jensen Model 50's thru a friend. The cases are a little rough, but hard to tell from the pix. Not sure if it is vinyl or veneer. I can handle the cases either way. No grill off pix. I can't find much info on these. Are they worth a 2 hour drive & $50? Thanks for any...

Found a pair of HTAH hs12ax in fair-good condition for $7. Not familiar with this brand. Are the worth a re-foam?

re-Foam Virgin Thanks for the help folks, I watched the youtube video. What kind of glue is that? I have been building & repairing furniture for over 40 years. That looks like plain ole white glue, or is it the "tacky" craft glue?

I am getting ready to try my first re-foam on a pair of Cerwin-Vega D1's I picked up at a rummage sale for $2.00. I figured this would be a good first try, so if screw it up I'm not out much money. I am looking for recommendations on where to order foam. Lots of sites offer them, but like a lot...
