AR10 pi Restoration, Grills and Xovers

[jackson]

Hey guys- I got the new Midwest Speakers tweeters and foam installed on woofers.
The grills are cloth and I was going to recover them.
The cabinets have a weird velcro all around the perimeter with a spot in the middle too.
Doesn't look correct to me unless they were foam at one time. Serial numbers are in the 1500 range- when di they switch ?
I have never seen such large capacitors in a xover before. What is the opinion on these large Sprague computer grade capacitors? If they still work I would like to leave them alone.
I just hooked them up and they sound good- I like that the treble can be turned down because I can't listen to speakers with titanium tweeters.

Thanks Jackson

The ADD series originally came with foam grilles. The ones you have are replacements. They look like they were made by someone with pretty good woodworking skills and equipment.

Most Sprague caps tested have been found to be good. Unless you see any sign of leakage from the cans, you can probably leave them alone.
