oldred Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I said a while back in the " What I got today" topic that I bought these for a winter project. I had yesterday off work ...so I started a little early. Started stripping at 6:15 am finished around noon.....Look what I found....underneath the black lacquer...beautiful walnut. Looks like i am going to d a walnut oiled thing....only one issue ....the risers are oak. Going to have to do a little matching Check it out. Still got to do some sanding before oil and reassembly. Thanks, G.E.M. Edited November 26, 2015 by oldred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEUS121996 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Awesome looking grain, it makes you wonder what people are thinking painting them Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It depends. If Klipsch painted them, it was because the veneer wasn't up to matching standards. If someone else painted perfectly good veneer, I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Agreed, Klipsch standards used to require bookmatching, with VOXX IDK Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldred Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 I believe Klipsch painted them. That is why the risers are oak G.E.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason str Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Time to make some Walnut risers. A little more height may help if new risers are an option. Looks nice, keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldred Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Got things ready to reinstall the drivers....I should get a package from Russellville Arkansas next week. First ones are re doing walnut veneer and then Danish oiling them. The last ones are after reassembly and finishing Briwax. Still thinking about re doing the grills with Heritage cloth ....but I don't know. Thanks, G.E.M.
