I won some Advent /1 in a auction. Manufacturer date 3/29/79.
The cabinets are in great shape. They have some scuffs and chips but nothing I can't fix with a re finish.
The speaker attachment block was loose so I am regluing it.
The surround foam looks new.
I can't imagine them being originals, if the were refoamed in must have been some one who was good at it.
Anyways can someone tell me if they were recapped from the picture, they look new also.
Last question Does anyone know what type of finished they used on the wood back in the 70"s.
I was looking at a light fine sanding and using a natural stain to cover any scratches. I would hand rub 2-3 coats of poly cut with mineral spirits and then 2 coats of polyurethane on them.
Once they are done the finish is bullet proof.
Problem is I need to know what is on them before starting. Looks like almost nothing. I read they used tinted lacquer back then.
Thanks in Advance.
