ricktate Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Then reinforce the back panel on the inside with a slightly smaller board. Then put a seal on the panel to keep it air tight. Capacitors are available from a lot of places. But I would recomend Crites or the guy on this forum that sells Klipsch approved...lol. capacitors at premium price. Got a pic of the front???

First the owner should check and see if they are changed already. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Whew! My 80's aren't black just a bit darker stain. Sound great and I haven't touched a cap or done any mods to the back panel. Those look fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hopefully mine will look like that (again) when i´m done with my refurb. Really nice find! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 That actually leads to a question. If the caps are bad/tired can listening to the speakers cause damage? Oh and enjoy your Heresys @thombehne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
