Hello and good evening to everyone! This is post number one for me at this site. I recently acquired a beautiful pair of Altec Model 19's clad in walnut, and have been cleaning them up.
The previous owner took excellent care of them, with only two or three very minor chips in the veneer, but wasn't the best about oiling the cabinets. Today I gave them a good treatment with Howards Feed N Wax, which really brought back the color and depth to the walnut.
My main question is in regards to the hardware for the crossovers. The cabinets have metal inserts in the wood that the screws thread into, but 3/4 are stripped on one speaker, and 1/4 is stripped on the other. I'd like to replace these inserts with new ones, as well as the flathead screws. Can someone inform me of what thread type/pitch these are, or perhaps give me a part number to order?
Thanks and regards,
Aaron
