They have a few blemishes that I would like to fix. Also, at some point Joel sandwiched some black fabric between the upper drivers and the cabinets and I would like to remove it. Would it be sacrilege to restore them to like new? ----------do you mean grilles with badges over the tweeter and midrange , hey that was quite expensive by the way in those days , it was a dealer only installed option , they stapled the grilles over the HF/MIDS , that kept the dust from reaching the inner part of the horn -- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I want to remove these and hopefully I can remove the staples without doing any damage to the cabinets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefe Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 It doesn't appear to be the same fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godataloss Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Looks like t-shirt fabric. Doubt it's original. I'd replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
