Restoring JBL Decade 36

[bcharmer12]

Need some restoration advice too! Brought home a pair of JBL Decade 36 yesterday that look like they were painted with gloss black paint as well has as having 4 holes drilled quite deeply on one side for mounting. The drivers appear to all be in good shape except for a small tear on one of the midranges. Surrounds on the woofers look good and there is an Orange County Speakerworks sticker on the back near the terminals. I would love to restore these and do a JBL stack with my other pair of 36's. Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.....

I just had a thread on restoring my L-36's, I went black with black grills, recapped the crossovers, and did a refoam of the woofers also. They turned out better than new and I am enjoying them quite often.
