Thanks for the link - have seen that thread already - he did a great job, as have others on this group.

Thanks wvu80, I know it may not be a popular choice to leave them, but I kinda like them being able to tell their own story.

I ended up leaving the cabinets alone except for a light sanding and some Howard's. I wanted them to still have a story.

They are nearly complete now, just waiting for new K-55-V diaphragms.

Basically, a guy that used to rent audio systems to clubs, bars etc.. is clearing out his old cabinet inventory. Poorly listed on CL, I just tripped over the ad accidentally. Said they were empty cabs covered in carpet, so I though they were Pros. They are not - raw birch with the mid horn and driver still installed and some Motorola tweeters installed. No woofers. AA crossovers still there. Total cost: $0. Yup, they were free, only about a 45 minute drive away. I could not get out of his driveway fast enough. The plan is to use:

Crites crossover rebuild kits for the AA crossover

Crites CT125 Tweeters

 

Crites K-55-V Diaphrams (One is weak).

Klispch K-33 Woofer, factory new.

 

Now, on the cabs, I'm not sure yet. Maybe a re-veneer with 1/2" or 3/4" plywood with Birch or Rosewood veneer. I may also just use auto body filler to smooth them off and paint them adding the "triangle" reinforcements in the doghouse. I have seen black and white ones, but I was thinking a nice dark red in a matte finish. Maybe a vinyl finish. Dunno yet...

Found one badge jammed in a horn. Will need to source another.

I pulled them apart, so here are some "before" pictures:

That is very generous of you. If I can not find a match, I may take you up on that.
