Chorus II revamp questions

Recommended Posts

Hello

i just picked these up recently, not the most perfect shape but I’m planning to touch up the cabinets and probably do the simply speakers recone kit on the KD16 passive radiators. I know there are a few chips on the edges but plan to do a light sand to clean up the finish. What could I use for a light stain to replicate the original oak?

Also, I cannot find any factory risers, so I bought some feet to get them off the ground at least. 
 

thanks in advance for your replies.

if they are oiled oak finish you can improve the looks after light sanding with a coat of a good furniture oil. or if you want to add some light tint to them use an oil with a oak tint such as howards restore a finish in oak or i think watco rejuvinating oil has an oak tint too. but any good quality oil will bring back the oak finish. 

 

you can make risers pretty easy out of solid oak & oil/stain them to match, or give dimensions to a wood worker to make.

the passives can be repaired with black cement glue used for  dust caps and recones  -

 

for the veneer damage -there are touch up crayons that are sold in top furniture stores , that contain waxes that will fill in the chips , these come in various colors and they are your best bet  ----- I would not sand the edges , as you cannot replicate the original oak unless you find a strip of  oak veneer and glue  bits and pieces with super glue  -

Thanks everyone for your feedback so far. I did end up getting the SS kit, but it’s still in the box and will definitely research the tear repair info anyways. 
Seriously considering building a larger version of Heresey risers for these once I find out what the dimensions are for them.
