I will do that, but one question is the way they are set up the woofer would be directly on the floor. The bottom has dowel holes is there a spacer to lift it off the ground slightly?

This restoration thread shows stands, but that might have been a different version. The below pic shows what I assume are U-shaped bases, which is probably what yours are meant to have. The slots look like they're about twice the thickness of the wood, so you can make your calculations based on that.

Who ever had these before used the bases as stands. They turned them upside down, put a swivel plate on them and attached it to a second set of covers to elevate the speaker and was able to swivel them in different directions. I took those apart this weekend and installed them with dowels as in the picture above.

I picked up a pair of WTLC on CL myself, too. They seem to have an issue with fuse connection. I replaced the fuses with new ones, but the speakers are temperamental and they refuse to play properly sometimes. When they play normally, they produce beautiful sounds. What do you folks think are the problems with my WTLC?
Sorry for a newbie question as I’m not mechanically-inclined and have no idea how speakers work.
Thanks for your input!

"They refuse to play properly".
What does that mean?
NO SOUND at all?
Only some individual drivers are making sound?
Crossover issues like broken solder joints, maybe bad capacitors. I think there is a mid range adjustment l-pad that might need cleaning, those do go bad.
Check the fuse holders for clamping pressure on the ends of the fuse, if they are a little loose the fuse may lose contact on one end or the other.
The Walsh "ice cream cone" super tweeters do go bad as well, might want to check them with a multi meter, Check the Walsh foam as well just to make sure it is present and what condition it is in.
That ought to get you started.

I have finished the refoams of all 4 woofers and I have refinished the cabinets. There seems to be a lot of insulation in the cabs is that how they come? Any way to clean the covers? they are in good condition just a little dirty..

Guess he/she figured it out as he/she hasn't been back since.

Don't know about earlier Infinitys but the RS series had a very generous amount of stuffing. Like stuffed and fluffed to almost touching the woofers.

OK great thanks, any tips on cleaning the covers?
Hello everybody, I have a pair Column WTLC that I bought 1974. I learn that I should replace capacitors as they age by time. Do you know where I can find these? According to picture seems they are two paralell but not sure if they are equal. Help please!
