Blue baffle 4401

[Chevelle]

As I got a pair of 4401 monitors in not so good shape I want to start a restauration. Found this picture from Japan with a blue baffle 4401. I know that this is not original but I like the look. It also matches my blue 4315 and 4313. What do you think ? I do not mind that the price for such a franken-monitor will drop as the price for the pair I payed was very low....

It looks good to me.

I know they are not 4343 or 4350 but anyway these are worth to be restored or modified. After a complete disassembling I sanded the cabinets and painted the baffle with RAL 7009. I used "Hartwachsöl" to bring back shine to the veneer. The electrolytic cap in series with the 034 was replaced by a MKP cap. I am surprised by the sound of these tiny speakers, they sound very clear, a littler bit boomy.
