Goodwill speakers

Richard So is a member here and was one of the last employees at ADS when they went out of business. He is the "go to" guy for ADS repair and replacement.

If you go for a replacement be sure to get the same part number as there were subtle differences even though they look the same.

Thank you for the info
 
I had Richard fix a bad tweeter for me last year, simply pack the tweet, send it to him, he does what is necessary, and sends it back in like new working order, his prices are listed at his website.

Also concerning the fuses, after buying a pair of L880's I got them home and neither of the two tweeters were firing, fuse inspection revealed both were blown, easy fix and very cheap as well, excellent find IMO, hope to hear how this fares for you when you have them up and running, I have quite a few ADS sets, but have never heard the 710, but their reputation has me looking for some.
 
This is not a joke, but for white rings use mayonnaise. Rub it in and let it sit 15 minutes and wipe off. As previously posted, oxalic acid for black rings. Nice score. I passed on a pair at the flea market about 12 years ago for $20 and I am still kicking myself in the ass.
 
Regarding wool... When I had my sailboat I used bronze wool on the teak trim. Available from a marine supply store, no rust problems.
 
Would like to thank everyone for their info. Tweeter problem solved was a bad fuse water marks came off thanks to the advice of using a damp paper towel and alcohol. Currently using the Watco Danish oil to bring the cabinets back to life!
 
Cabs are looking great, and glad you figured out the tweeter issue.
Post some more pics when you are finished with them.

Congrats on the score and I must say I really like the background in your first set of pictures! :thumbsup:
 
That's a great score! Congratulations! You're lucky too, as I never see anything but old clothes, broken computer parts, and nick-nack junk at the two Goodwill's in my area. I've never seen speakers. Must be nice? :mad:
