Hello all,
Long time reader, newbie for posting.
I recently picked up a pair of sequintial numbered Quartets. Had to drive 1-1/2 hours to get them, when I got there the seller "forgot" to mention that one of the cabinets has what I would consider - heavy warpage. Looks like someone had a plant sitting on top of it and the top panel and the left side panel are warped due to over watering and the water running down the left side panel. The warpage is into the MDF, not just the veneer (I think).
The speakers still sound great, no resonating in the warped speaker and while both could use a light sanding and oil or stain the warpped one is noticable (to me). I didn't want to leave empty handed after the long drive so I offered the guy 2 bills for the pair and he took it.
Now for my question or questions, after I empty the cabinet how difficult is it to remove the top and one side panel and replace with new MDF of the same thickness? This of couse is without damaging the other adjacent panels.
I know I will have to re-veneer the entire cabinet/pair which is not a bad thing as there are alot of really cool veneers out there. I just need to know if it is more trouble than its worth.
Any advice or suggestions are deeply appreciated.
