khorndog Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 This Stephens Tru-Sonic is from a 1954 Khorn. The sound seems to be unaffecterd. Looks like battery acid corrosion. What is it?? Can I clean it - wire brush / reseal it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I wouldn't worry about it. Its a protective coating that is supposed to prevent corrosion. But after 5 decades , it looks like there is some surface corrosion beneath the coating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Morbius Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If it were me, I would carefully take it out, carefully tape it up making sure only having the areas with corrosion showing, and then carefully wirebrushing the corrosion to get as smooth a surface as possible. Then carefully spray paint the area with as close a match of the original color as possible. Then carefully remove the tape when dry and then very carefully installing the speaker back into the cabinet. I have to mention you have to do this carefully. I treat everything carefully that was produced in 1954 - including my two 1954 Packards and also....................................myself.

Now there's a guy after my own heart. A Packard was a true feat of engineering, design and craftsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
