How do I stain it? apply with a small brush , then with a cloth and hand wipe , blend the color until , it evens out - I 've also used the Elmers stainable wood filler for darker furniture that were harder to stain -https://www.walmart.com/ip/ELMERS-STAINABLE-WOOD-FILLER/17011273 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The earlier JBLs had good veneer on them. My 4311s are the same. I've had them upside down, so the mids and tweets were on the top, an they have some scratches, but I think they'll clean up ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to read and follow directions but pretty the stain gets mixed in with product. Read a review where a customer did not the follow mix stain directions pics shown where not good. If you need to stain further I dap some stain on and let it dry. Most likely stain will just come if you try rub it in. If you don't like results gentle steel wool, clean dap and let dry again.

There was a set of these in a place that we vacation in Arizona before the pandemic for $700 in beautiful condition. I could not break away from work. Buy some of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/JBL-LE25-Design-Foam-Trim-Tweeter-Repair-Kit-fits-L100-L120A-L120-Pair-/141931595140 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I have meant to... although one of the tweeters hay be damaged. I paid about $280 each when new. The studio/sales guy I bought them through borrowed them when they were mixing a Styx album (Man of Miracles). They came back in one piece. 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new dust caps are $5 a pair. Nice history on your speakers. I really like the look of the studio monitors with the woofers on top.

Marvel Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Ah, the tweeter dome. My daughter, when young, was lying on the floor in front of the speakers and pushed against the grill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 These speakers are in nice shape. I cleaned them up and we listened to a Pink Floyd album yesterday. One of the woofers is slightly yellow. I want these to look like new. Is this the right paint to spray the woofers? White upholstery paint. https://www.stockwiseauto.com/sem-products-15603-color-coat-sailcloth-white?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvrrsoOK67wIVchh9Ch3qpwQIEAQYASABEgICGPD_BwE& Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Michael Colter used a black SEM paimt on faded Heresy woofers (long, long time ago). Maybe find out from him, and get the white version. That should work, and you wouldn't be putting on much. Mine are a little yellow...but both are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave MacKay Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 How did you elect to proceed? How did the repair turn out? I'd love to see some pictures of the finished job. I need to make a similar repair to a Lascala and would benefit from hearing of your experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 That's going to be tough with exposed wood grain... unless you veneer. I might elect to leave it and just enjoy the music, otherwise you have bondo and perhaps a coat of paint at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
