Ave Bona Cornwall Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 So, I didn't get these today, but I haven't posted about it yet. A pair of CF-3 v1. I didn't realize until I drove them home that they smelled like smoke. So, after a few weeks of cleaning, they are in my living room. To get the smoke out, the grills were pretty easy (soaking in dish soap/water, one time). The wood was a little more, using many applications of mineral spirits, Murphy's oil, baking soda, vinegar, Odoban, and finishing off with some Watco Danish golden oak oil. Here's a pic of them next to my old CF-2's. Sorry for the low-light bad pic. They are labeled as light oak, but comparing with my medium oak CF-2's, they look the same. On a side note, my CF-2's are going to be going up for sale soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaman Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Those La Scalas look awesome brother. Looks much nicer in full screen here compared to what I could make out from your FB PM! Tim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burninator Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The guy that got my RF-83s is very pleased, and so am I! These things rock. Really loving them paired with the Sherbourn 2-160. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Getting them dialed in for your setting will potentially yield the end to speaker buying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marantz was 430.00 For a the full restoration I used Randy Buckner who is fantastic. He sent progress photos along the way. The MC225 was 800.00 for the full chassis re-chrome, re-lettering and full electronic restoration - new caps , power supply rebuild etc. I know that I will certainly get the return on that if I ever sell it. I bought the amp a number of years ago for a grand. Examples in the condition sell for a lot more than 1800 bucks! So I think it is money well spent! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez ... told her ... and she ordered a $1800 designer purse as "my" Xmas present Guess I'm lucky she did not look at jewelry.
