AndreG. Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hello, welcome to this forum! I believe You´ve still got the "old" terminals on wich you use just screws to tighten bare wire to the speakers, right? If so, look closely, on one side, where the screws go into the terminal, the plastic is colored red. This may be hard to see if the plastic is dusty ( As it is on my Heresy Es.). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KROCK Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Welcome. My Corns. are from 84 & I believe there is a finish coat from the factory. Maybe try Watco rejuvenating oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much ! Jim Just make sure you hook them both up the same way. What you should put on the cabinets is determined by what the factory finish is. Post a pic of the wood and the label (label has veneer and finish info) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
