Groomlakearea51 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 56 Into the "man cave" Wall of Voodoo Music Testing and Beer Tasting Room..... Meanwhile... Igor is hard at work assembling the wiring harnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 57 Harnesses complete and Igor has wandered off to search for small animals under the house. He's happy with such payments for his labor so I don't bother him much at this point..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groomlakearea51 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 60 Left side ready and running fine. Final oiling with Old English Lemon; looks nice; looks "new". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 61 Right side ready and running fine also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Igor has returned and is demanding his payment!!! I convinced him that the really bad cats that live on the porch were a much more gratifying and tasty reward... so he's happy again....

Groomlakearea51 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 I apologize for the poor photo quality. I'm not the best photo guy and the photos really don't do them justice. They are very nice and Fender is supposed to come over next week and he can report better (especially if I bribe him with a lot of Sam Adams....)

BLSamuel Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Marshall, The photos get the jobdone. But yeah they really can't do these justice. I know, as I have a pair of Heresies that Marshall resurrected in the same finish (I think) and they are very nice. [8][8][][8][8] SWMBO even commented that they looked nice. Another aboslutely stunning restoration! But I guess we expect that now. Hoping I can make it over to visit the "Wall Of Voodoo" for a couple of hours in April when I'll be within a reasonable drive.

CECAA850 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Awesome Marshall! Absolutely beautiful. Another set of children rescued from the land of misfits. Dead and dying Heritage speakers must be calling your name through their dusty throats. Seriously, they're gorgeous, you've got mad skills mang.

colterphoto1 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 "make sure the wires are ready for stripping." usually I buy them a few beers first, then they're ready for the stripping! Great photo essay there Marshall. I always enjoy reading and studying your restoration efforts. I'm jealous of your skills in this department. One day perhaps I could be your trusty henchman for a week? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Great step by step documentation and photographs. Nice speakers too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 One day perhaps I could be your trusty henchman for a week? Ooh. Learning from the master. That'd be cool. Maybe you can stow away on our Spring Break trip? We end up within about 2 hours of Marshall's compound and the "Wall of Voodoo". Probably be a hard sell to SWMBO and SWMBOiT2 (SWMBO in training 2 - youngest and 2nd daughter, SWMBOiT1 has class now that she's in college). SWMBOiT2 is also bringing a friend. I'm sure I'd enjoy roadtripping with Michael.... the family? Probably once they'd get to know him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
