zipper Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 I will post Pics when i get them. In the mean time I will probably order some capacitors to have on hand for a possible upgrade, depending on the condition of the current caps.. THanks all Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa Freak Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 How can you tell when the capacitors are bad? visual/sound quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) If they're the stock caps and over 20-years old, they probably could use changing.When I bought my 84' CW I's a few years ago I immediately thought they sounded kinda dead on the HF. Once they were updated the difference was huge. Edited December 29, 2014 by Mighty Favog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yes the information I have read is that the old oil and paper caps from 20 years ago did their job well for years but a 'freshen' up does not hurt, keeping the values the same with some quality caps. I don't believe its taking away from the Vintage Cornwall. In fact giving it a bit more life. I don't have any real big plans for the Cornwalls possible Crites x-over upgrade and depending on the finish and how bad someone messed with it I may re-veneer. Again no big plans. Initial plan is a small tube amp, some new capacitors and I'm done. Again Thanks everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I heard my first set of Cornwalls last month. A terrific speaker. I think the Cornwall monster has you now, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 YAH They arrived no worse for wear after traveling 800km or so to me. Finally hooked them up to a temporary source and they still sound amazing. Dynaco tube will be here any day and final setup will happen soon. For now I have stollen a space in the kids play area. The only space available large enough to fit the speakers. Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions on the earlier posts.
