I’m new to this forum. Last Saturday I bought two ‘85 Heresy II which was the motivation to join. Like all speakers I pick up these need a bit of work. In this case the cabinets are in somewhat sad condition. Originally they are Oak Lacquered ( Hii OL). A previous owner used wood screws to hold the boxes together were the original glue has failed and painted them with black lacquer. Stripping them with lacquer thinner as well as removing screws, re-glueing and clamping.
My question…..did Klipsch use a stain on the original Oak Lacquer finish before spraying the clear lacquer?
