    Allison Model 1 Restoration - Matching veneer/finish question

    A friend's father was downsizing and I have been given a pair of Allison Acoustics Model 1 speakers. They were in somewhat rough shape: woofers foam was rotten, scrathes on tops, bases had seen some moisture damage. I am working on a moderate level of restoration to bring them back to life...

    What wood and finish for a pair of Pioneer CS-88s?

    My excellent bargain-finding sister found me the speakers, along with a PL-A25 turntable and CT–F850 cassette deck for $20 total. However, the speakers look like butt. They are very flat and dry-looking, and deeply discolored in spots. Does anyone know what kind of wood was used on these...

    Wood Finishing Ideas

    Hello All, After purchasing a set of nice Soliloquy 6.2 speakers last year, I painted them grey to blend in with our new home's decor. Although they look fine, I was considering selling them, which means I need a strip and refinish. Or, I'll like the results of the refinish so much, they may...

    I've got my "perfect" setup. Any other AKers reach the proverbial finish line?

    Yesterday afternoon, I received the Velodyne VRP-1200 powered subwoofer I ordered via E-bay on 10/03/16 so as to replace an admittedly ancient 42-watt Aiwa TS-W5U 8" sub I was using with another two subs to fill in the bottom end of my system (I purchased it for home theater use in '96). I...

    Can I Restore the Finish on my DB Plus 440's?

    I just picked up a pair of DB Plus 440's from the thrift store yesterday, and the top is all scratched up. I was wondering if the finish is real, or if it is veneer or vinyl, because I wanted to restore them with Howard Restore-A-Finish (A.K.A. the best speaker restoring stuff EVER!). I have had...
