Kram Snave Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Merrymaking The crossover issue has my attention, I was told by a Klipsch dealer the Chorus crossovers were installed during the time the Cornwalls were discontinued and it was a lateral move. I decided to finish the first speaker with a bees wax and keep the original veneer that was hidden under black paint and a very bad coats Edited April 22, 2020 by Kram Snave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kram Snave Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 I stripped the polyurethane and paint with a commercial grade remover. I picked up a cheap plastic scraper made for this, it worked much better than a putty knife. I ended up staining with an Early American Min Wax stain and topped with two coats of Williamsville Wax. I rubbed the wax (with the grain) in with a 00 steel wool then buffed with the grain using a 0000 steel wool. I went back to the natural wood veneer but painted the front edge trim and the risers a satan black. Looks sharp and crisp in my opinion.. did I say I love these speakers and they sound fantastic. I will post pictures on a separate post. For some reason when I post photos with text it gets messed up.. not a Tech person. Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kram Snave Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 After I removed the paint I did sand with 220 paper and used a tac cloth before staining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Those are birch raw finish not really a veneer. Great job getting all that crap off they look far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kram Snave Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks for the info. So the only veneer would be on the front edge of birch plywood I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
