No way he's stumped by that pesky epoxy slug and restricted access...

The funny thing is that he seems to know what he's doing.

Except when it comes to carpentry, I guess.

The horror...the horror!

Nice to see this master carpenter spared no expense in materials used for this project.

Bubba's finest work on a good day!

It hurts my eyes to look at that butchery!

After reading the listing several times and looking at the photos, I am convinced the seller should be arrested for vintage gear abuse. He not only butchered the cabinets, he swapped in a crossover from another speaker. I have a pair of these myself and all I can say is he should have just sold them as is for half his asking price or just used them as firewood.

I would love to know what he used to cut the hole?
I am guessing a survival knife or a hatchet!!
Come on if you care enough to rebuild the crossovers take some time to think on a way to get to them first..

I worked on a pair of KLH 6 of this vintage, once. I replaced the capacitors by removing the plate in the back and working through a small hole in the cabinet. I think it took a week to replace the capacitors. Painful process, forcing my hand through that small hole. I like this approach better. I am sure that it sounds just a good as mine. Who looks at the back anyway.

Sometimes we just need to step outside the box.

I wonder what he ripped apart to get the timber, looks like he hacked something up pretty bad.
