Here's a half and half - nicely dried out left side, right side freshly applied Mahoney's. I have only tried it on reconstituted veneer - these 4408's and L100t3's. I haven't tried it on anything...

It shouldn’t take that long to break a speaker in - stick them in a closet full of pillows, turn them up to a reasonable level, and leave for the day:). If you still don’t like them, it’s not going...
As I said before, huge Kudos to BradMich for great workmanship on some beautiful speakers. It is very difficulty to get your money back out of something like this - it's like building your...
Wow! All I have to show from COVID winter is 10 extra pounds around my waist:(
Those look gorgeous. I have no experience with vintage Altec stuff, but I really appreciate the amount of time you...
This is what happens when I am procrastinating. A little zooming and lightening on your photo shows the speaker is a 3-way:

As you guessed, it looks alot like an ATC SCM150ASL

As I mentioned in your other thread about this and your subs, this looks like a filter meant to make the load easier on the amplifier. RL circuits (resistance in parallel with inductance) are used...
A pic of the other side of the board would be helpful, so we can see where everything goes. I'm guessing that filter is there to tame the inductance and make the driver an easier load on whatever...
Another LH’er was raving to me about how good this Bluetooth adaptor sounded in his system - If you don’t want to be tied down by leaving your phone at your system, add one of these...

CL505 is more of an LX series center speaker - stamped frame woofer, etc. If you’re going to be a little bit off, I’d probably go a little bit up versus a little bit down. I’d go with the PC600...
I’ve always done it with an angled pick through the screw holes, or even prying with a small slotted screwdriver. If I remember, the drivers don’t have a bevel to the back edge of the frame, so you...
Chapter 3:
10 days later, they still hadn't arrived, and Fedex tracking says they never left Georgia.
I call Fedex and put a trace on them.
Waited 2 weeks, still no luck.
Reported lost item...

Seller sends me pics (these are the seller's pics), and I buy them - yay!

I have zero experience here, but did find one pic of a C435 and mention that it can be shortened by cutting the side legs off.

Chapter1:
This listing pops up on Ebay Christmas eve (how fitting!): Listing says pics to come, stands missing one plastic corner piece.
Price is kind of high, but when was the last time you saw a...
When I first started selling car audio to put myself through college, the Circuit City I worked at had t3's, but I don't remember ever seeing center channel speakers, matching or otherwise (original...
I like your "buy once and cry once" comment:) When we sold 250Ti's at retail we demo'd them with a Harman Kardon stack that wasn't much power (90w/ch maybe) and it sounded pretty good, until it...
If you are regularly running GFA-555’s into clipping on your XPL’s, how about saving the money on equipment and looking at upgrading your speakers again? I am not a loud music guy, but when I...
It is time, not use that kills the surrounds. I’ll bet you could take a new speaker and play it for 5yrs straight and the surround would still be fine, though the spider would be worn. Take the...
Which 4675’s do you have? I believe they made an a,b, and c version, and they each used different drivers and crossovers, though the basic design was the same. I think the “a” version had a 16ohm...
You have a pretty good handle on what you've got:) Back in those days ('71-'73), the enclosure was a generic enclosure used for several speakers. The 4331 had a piece of wood screwed behind the...
Btw, I was typing my last reply while you posted yours, so sorry if I'm a little behind. So, you have determined that it is one of the 476Mg's, right? Also, you state that you are "On your own",...
Please, please, please, start with Widget's advice. Put the speakers together, take a listen. One of the speakers sounds better. Put a piece of tape on the 476Mg in that one and mark "Good" on it,...
It's one of the newest gen drivers, $330ea from Speaker Exchange. I have no experience with it.

Pics for posterity. Weren't the 80's fun? Were they ahead of the times with Height effect speakers on top of the entertainment center? :)

Off topic a bit, but I remember Wisdom Audio’s large demo at CEDIA, maybe 2014, with 85k watts and about a 20’ diagonal screen. Best show demo I’ve heard - I went through it three times in a row...
