Bought some RCA cables today that have stainless steel or aluminum braided shielding. Very heavy cable with Vampire logo on the rca ends. Not sure if they were a production cables or DYI. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Are you still selling these? They look nice.

That's kind of weird. These seem to be the same one's listed in the Phoenix craigslist. Klipschorn: 1990 in great condition. $3950 Built to order for musician in Las Vegas in 1990. They came to me after his death two years ago. Chorus II: Cosmetics above average. All original . $1500 Cornwall: Cosmetics average. $600 in Crites upgrades. $1500 KLF 30 Cosmetics above average. $600 in Crites upgrades. $900

Tung oil varnish. They still need to be gone over with a wood polishing compound. That will make them a more satin finish and not so shiny.

Thank you. We also just finished a pair of Cornwalls in Brazilian rosewood.

Here's a couple more.

We finished them up last weekend. I had to redo the tops and bases with lacquer.

We decided to stain them dark walnut with a coat of Jacobean.

Here's a couple of photos after sanding. Not sure on what color to finish them.

Hello, I am currently refinishing a pair of black Chorus II's. We stripped them with lacquer remover and hand sanded with 220 grit.

We first tried a spray lacquer that was recommended on one of the speakers. However, it wasn't bringing the true color of wood. So, we stripped it down again. Another recommendation was to use a tung oil vanish. Applied 4 coats with a light sanding in between.

Got a quick update on our progress. I removed all the drivers and crossovers. Replaced the tweeter diaphragms and recapped the crossover with sonicaps. Then we stripped them with lacquer remover. When we thought we had most of the lacquer off we hand sanded them.

Keep in mind you may have to update the crossovers and tweeters due to the age.

Seems too high. I would go to Hi Fi Shark and search the sales of both items. Hifishark.com.

Great advice. I will update as we go. Thanks.

Thanks again everybody for the advice. I did quite a bit of research on the rosewood and you can't re-stain it. We will have to get the lacquer off and see what we got. They do make a wood dye that they use on guitars with rosewood that looks like maybe it will work. As far as reapplying the lacquer, I am going to contact the company that re-finished our kitchen cabinets. I uploaded a couple pictures to show the fading that happened over the years. Thanks again.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the information.

This seems to be pretty rare. We are going to have to refinish them due to one of the speakers being faded from sitting by a window. My wife wants to do a walnut stain. Would you keep them the original color? Thanks.

Here's some pictures. They need to be refinished. Not sure what color I should do to keep them original.

Just bought a pair of 1979 Cornwalls from the original owner. I was told that they were walnut but the code does not seem to match. I did see some posts on the BRSL being Brazilian Rosewood but not on Cornwalls. Any ideas? Thanks.
