I have plenty of Baltic birch. I started to lay out the frames for the grills. I'm trying to decide on fabric. I would like to go with something other than black, any ideas out there? Started the finish work on the first cabinet. I will post some pictures tomorrow of the progress, I had to work on some chips here and there, this veneer is so brittle. But its looking so much better than it did, I guess that's not too hard to accomplish given they were water damaged and knocked around.

thanks for the link, your Belle clones are amazing, top notch work. I envy your skills. I will look into you finish recommendations. My edge trimmer messed up a few of my front edges so I need to fix those tomorrow. Im learning alot about full veneer jobs thats for sure. Not as easy as it looks.

To be honest, this is my first full re veneer job, I have done alot of repairs. this Sapele is brittle to work with it likes to crack really easy. Been having to do alot of edge repairs. Thanks for the comment.
second cabinet done, now for the small trim on the fronts and repaint the rear edges. I cut a bunch of bracing so that will go in tomorrow.

Awhile back I was going to part these out due to water damage to the bottoms of the Cabinets. last week I scored some large sheets of Sapele Veneer from a local guy who had a pair of KLF-30's in his shop. Deciding I needed a New project I started repairing the KLF cabinets. New bottoms, removed the loose MDF on the lower parts of the cabs. I used some 2 part wood filler to repair all the chips, edges and corners. heavy sanding with 80 grit and I started gluing the veneer. one thing I will need is to build some grills, if anyone has some pictures of the frames for me to work off.
work so far.

I can say the Belle’s do sound better in the low end than the La Scala’s I have tried, my friend brought over his La Scalas for some veneer work, we do paired them and he even thinks the low end is better in the Belle. But again, sound is subjective to the listener.

Trying to help my son out in restoring a pair of Pioneer HPM-100's he picked up to go with the SX1050 I gave him. Midrange drivers are toast im putting out the call for anyone to check their stash for some. would also like some tweeters, his paper dust caps are torn but useable. Flea Pray is a tough fight to get some at a reasonable price, especially for a pair. I know HPM 900 parts would work also. thanks for any leads.

Same here, schematic would be great to have.

I have trouble paying $1500 for anything.

if they are marked WO then the banding will be walnut as well, i repaired chips in my banding with scraps from a pair of walnut heresys, perfect match.

sent the cabinets to the dump, i really don't like that they were made of MDF. nothing was going to make them look good.

can say for sure what type of paint klipsch used on these but many people say a common satin black is a good match & looks great. if you want to spray it you can use krylon satin black in a spray can or rustoleum to roll on. dont think it was lacquer but any type of decent quality paint will work fine if prepped good.
thanks, I will pick up a few different ones to test out.-

i have built new bottoms, removed the front and rear panels to rebrace the cabinet walls, I salvaged the veneer off the bottoms to use a repair pieces for some chips in the cabinets. anyone know what paint Klipsch used on the klf"s? Lacquer or oil based?

. I have been going over the cabinets and seeing what can be done, most of the damage is at the edges. I'm going to take one to our cabinet guy and see what he thinks, maybe new bottoms and fix the edges. he cut all my wood for the Lil Mike subs at a fair price. the front motor board and rear board are undamaged.

Majority of the damage is swelling at the bottom and edges opening up a bit. Inside the cabinets are dry and the joints are solid. The bottom panel has to be replaced.
i rechecked the woofer readings with my other multi meter, they are all 5.8 ohms. The mids are 11.8. Tweeters still dead. Sad thing is, down here we have a lot of humidity, storing anything with MDF is a death sentence.

The good: 4 woofer
2 mid range drivers and horns.
Crossovers
2 binding post plates.
4 port tubes
the bad: 2 dead tweeters
2 bad cabinets
Not liking the idea of having to replace the cabinets, I’m sure a cabinet shop can make new ones for a decent price out of better materials, has anyone gone this route? Is it worth the effort? I’ve built a few subs and custom cabinets and there is a local shop that will do the cutting but I’m not finding any plans for these, reverse engineering Looks like the only option. Are they a worthy speaker to save/ resurrect as far as sound quality goes?

Hi everyone.
I have a friend who wants to trade me these KLF’s with water damaged cabinets. I’m looking for guidance on repairing them if possible. There are no tags on them so I’m guessing they are KLF 30’s, the woofers are 12”. The bottoms and about 1” up are swollen and they have various chips and scrapes. So far I know the tweeters are dead, mids are 12 ohms on the meter and so far 2 of the 12” woofers are at 6-7 ohms. One woofer has lost its dust cap. They are 46” tall 14” wide and 17” deep. I’m also wondering if they are worth the $300 trade value. Thanks
