I have held these beloved speakers in very high esteem for 30 years and a couple of years ago, finally found a nice pair nearby me inLos Angeles. While not cat scratched, the grille cloths show all of their 30's years age and the faded hopsack looks like hell now. Am aftraid to molest my speakers out of fear I can make them look worse. Like among the pairs I saw for sale that had really bad D.I.Y. attempts at recovering the grilles. They sagged like they needed a L and somebody made a XXL and just foolish. Can you please sahre any of your tips and may I assume you recovered the original frames instead of making your own new one's? Once you hear these speakers, all else sounds like crap by comparo. So I want mine looking as good as yours now. Thanks, Pete Greetings, What you did looks great.

My folks still have a pair of these in the basement. I don't think they work anymore. But I listened to plenty of LPs on 'em when they did work. Nice job refurbishing them! -Terry Wow.
