Discretion being the greater part of valor...

Hi All - quick update...

I wimped out and decided to take them to a

Tweeters and midranges turned out OK.

The cabinets, however, I want to do myself. Finish is faded ut the wood isn't dinged too bady. I guess I'll search for 'gentle' restoration tips for the cabinets...

You didn't wimp out, Jesse.
You just exercised good judgment.
This is how I'd look at it: Your "ante" is zero.
So you are effectively playing with someone else's money.
It's hard to imagine you would be able to invest more in the
repair than they will be worth, and I mean that in the ULTIMATE
sense of worth -- how much joy they bring you.

I'm planning to do a before and after (wood restoration only) with the
AR-3As, Scott S-17s, and single 2A and 2AX I got for $110, thanks to the good folks at
AUDIOKARMA
