Unfortunately the veneer covers the top completely. So, I cannot see the top--until I remove the top veneer either this weekend or the next. But I layed the speaker on its side and looked at the bottom of the speaker. I can see the edge of the front piece of plywood from the bottom. Also, it would appear that all the panels are flush to the front. They are just covered by the trim on the front. I planned to replace the grills on them, but if they are decorators--I must just remove the grills all together. Thats a tough decision for me. They'd look beautiful either way.

Well, I'm not 100% sure what you mean. The top and the sides are flush with the motorboard. But, there is a trim that runs along the permiter of the motorboard on the front holding the grill down. If I understand what you are saying correctly, then I do believe these are as you described them. Here is a picture, I'm not sure if it will help.

Hey Guys! I'm fairly new to the forum minus doing some research with the search function ;-). So, I thought I'd just jump right in. I just recently purchased a matching set of '72 Vertical Cornwalls for $450 locally. I am thrilled with the way they sound. Makes me think about the days of listening to my dad's 75?(I think) Cornwalls when I still lived with my parents. I'll post some pictures of them as soon as I get a chance. I'm going to document my restoration process for those interested. Unfortunately, the Veneer is heavily cracked and chipped in several locations. I decided I am going to just strip the veneer which is a rather lengthy and painful process but the progress so far shows that it will pay in full when it is done. I do have a quick question the finish is listed as C-DR. Can anyone tell me what the DR stands for? I'm just trying to figure out if this Veneer is original and what style it is. Thanks in advance and I hope you guys enjoy seeing the restoration process. Daniel
