we have to get the Jubilees in a proper perspective as they are PWK last speaker design with a lifetime of experience - : the Jubilees are huge , they tend to be a TRUE REPRODUCER - versus per example a Scala or Khorn - -they are a life-like speaker that will reproduce the source material impeccably and without coloring the sound at all - the recording on the CD will ensue through your ears , accurately - as if you were in the recording studio - flat -right down to any deficiency in the recording or by that matter all of it's qualities --the bass is tighter , more defined than a k-horn -and in comparison with the scala , the bass bins are taller and wider -resulting in a wider sound experience - the first time you will hear a Jubilee , you will

Happy Easter Jim ---- pictures of the cabs would be cool - and I thought old ladies took care of their stuff -

the average CW gets banged up on the sides and top panels -scalas the bottoms as well -to get gorgeous cabs , I either replace these panels with 3/4 inch or 1 inch - also simply adding a 1/4" or 3/8" veneered or non-veneered panel is a viable solution if the panels can be glued over with brads -

yep . - why not - anything but black paint - thanks for the link

Stay strong for the family - these are tough times - our prayers are with Charley - God Bless -

You have not been here long enough to know, but Greg started out on this FORUM right here and learned most of his speaker information right here on these pages from others here. Same goes for his woodworking skills, trial and error on veneer right here on these pages and learned about different veneer techniques and bubbled some of his first veneers right here! While I remain very impressed with his skill that he has achieved with veneer, I think he is overpriced on his work, but he gets the money he asks for.... A quote from PT Barnum comes to mind here. I worked in a custom cabinets shop for years, then later, a custom laminate shop and can tell you that greg has done some good woodworking, but I surely would not quote him here as some sort of a definitive answer to anything except veneer work. Roger Hi Roger -Jason - MinerMark - JIM know has all the answer he needs - I also need to restore 3 scala cabs but I will go the route of adding a 1/4 or 3/8 inch raw birch panel to the sides and top - thanks guys

how long before the Bondo hardens -
-
Bondo is just a generic name for product that requires a hardener ...just like Epoxy which without a hardener will never dry/cure. Its been used on all types of surfaces that will be painted. A skilled Furniture Restorer will also use a Bondo type product on an unpainted ( stained ) surface but it will require graining and extensive color touch up. Other products like Shellac Burn In Sticks can be used as well but again.. they will require the knowledge to make the repair completely invisible to the naked eye. In short...a Bondo type product will suffice for a painted finish.p perfect -

do you have one brand in mind I use Bondo brand personally - and how much would you need to do a full pair of scalas in a bad shape One quart should be enough for 2 badly damaged cabinets with some leftover for other projects -is there such a thing as bondo that you dont have to mix with hardener Its a 2 part epoxy resin so no - kinda like - just open the can and use -or no - The stuff has a long shelf life so don't be afraid of getting a bigger size fantastic reply -
