TV last night wasn't doing much for me, so I pulled up Craigslist for about the 10th time yesterday. Just 43 minutes earlier someone had posted a pair of Black Chorus II's for a reasonable price. After a few minutes of texting we agreed on a deal and I picked them up this morning and have them humming along in my office until I can work up the courage to take them home.
Grilles are perfect as are the badges. Frankly the bases are chipped pretty badly. The paint has just been rubbed thin and off in a few spots, but no dings or gouges. I'm guessing it would be pretty simple to get someone to rebuild the bases new and since I need some paint, I can make it all match pretty well. I had been waiting for Walnut versions, but couldn't pass these up.
Any advice on this line of thinking, any source for someone who might build bases, and the specific paint Klipsch used on these. I also have a similar vintage THX certified Klipsch home theatre whose pieces could use the same paint. Seems like I read a post where someone posted the specific paint, but have been unable to locate it so far.
Thanks in advance.
