    Tarnish or rust removal from MC 2105 cabinet screen

    I have this cabinet for a MC 2105 and it has these spots which I am not sure are rust. I tried wiping it off but it didn’t work. My question is, can I sand it down and get rid of the spots or is it coated with a paint? The pics show the issue. I don’t want to ruin the look of it. Thanks.

    Rehab for speakers with hard miles - JBL L166

    Hi all. I have been freelancing on pandemic speaker rehab. I really enjoyed it, but had mixed results. (The speakers' appearance generally improves at least.) My most recent project, E-V Interface:As, is almost done and has been quite a chore - rebuilding damaged particle board with injectable...

    Destroyed cabinet edges -- fix or give up?

    I have been fairly successful recently pulling vintage speakers out of trash heaps. More than once I've found cabinets with blown corners and edges: water damage or just being dropped, I guess. Here is one on H.H.Scott S-197. These speakers have marginal quality cabinets anyway. And here is...

    Help troubleshooting RCA console

    Hi, new here. I have a 1962 RCA Victor console model number 3VF306. It's in amazing condition and works beautifully. The only issue is that after it being on for a minute or 2 the sound on the left speaker fades in and out and gets fuzzy, almost like the speaker is blown (which very well could...

    Help! Need advice from the experienced dudes here.

    Bought a 1968 StudioTone vintage cabinet last week (Canadian made) that has a Dual 1009SK TT installed as well as an old receiver that’s seen better days. I’d like to modernize this thing by pulling out the old receiver and replacing it with a mid/late 70’s receiver (Marantz 2200 or similar)...

    Celestion DL10 Cabinet Repair

    So the local thrift shop never has anything good - best I've done was an unopened vinyl copy of the soundtrack to Next Friday for $5 (gotta celebrate the little victories in life). Until last week when I drop in and found a pair of Celestion DL10s for the sweet sweet price of $40. But there's...

    HPM 100 Cabinet Rebuild

    Love em' or hate em', in great condition they sell for a profit. I've wanted a set for a while and scored them at a pretty good price, but the cabinets are shot. Normally I'd just take a set of rough cabinets and clean them up, but there are small chunks missing from these cabinets, so I'm...

    KG 3.5 loose board issue

    Hi all. I have a mint pair of KG 3.5's. I really like these speakers. I noticed that some of the boards on both speakers have become a little loose. I think this is a known issue; something to do with the glue Klipsch used. I am upgrading the crossovers and the diaphrams and so everything is...
