img0078eu.jpgFinally got around to working on my recently acquired Cornwall II's...

The cabinets had a blotchy varnish finish, water stains and smelled of wood smoke. After much procrastination, I removed the drivers and hauled them outside this weekend. I sanded the cabinets with a block sander for about 6 hours yesterday, Needless to say, my arms are hurting today. The raw birch finish looks much better, but certainly not perfect. I now wonder if I should have just painted them black and finished with polyurethane...

Today I installed the new Crites crossovers and have them playing now. Both old crossovers had inducters loose and swinging like wrecking balls inside. I immediately notice a more open sound and the slight channel imbalance seems to be cured.

All in all, I am pleased. Looking forward to the arrival of a totally restored Scott 222C from NOS Valves and I should be in pretty good shape...
