180 sanded and ready for some 320 but first I need to fix the chip on one of these.

A little more JB Weld to fill the depression.
Once the JB Weld was set, it was sanded and I apply some paint. A perfect match is Krylon 1613 Semi-Flat lacquer. To bad Krylon has discontinued this formulation. They now have a Semi-Flat enamel, but it isn't the same sheen. They now use the number 1613 for their satin black. Again, not the same sheen.
while the paint is drying, I decided to polish the aluminum band with some Happisch SimiChrome.
Just in time today, I received the stands from Lee. These things are really nice!
A shot from the back.
All done and now on to my crossover build.
Very nice. Very 1970's. I think I may have sent the wrong stainless steel bolts. I have some that are barely portruding from the back of the plate. I will inlcude them next time I send you "something" ;-)
PS The brushed stainless steel goes very well with your lamp amplifier.
wow, you've really polished the cannons
The pairing of custom stands and over-restored* driver casework looks nice enough to
have them proudly out on display.
*I mean that in a good way.
Slick! Nice job again.

Nice restoration.
I'm aways leary of people who advertise "original diaphragm," but where the rear screw is exposed.
Even if it is original, I know that simply turning that screw and not holding the phase plug still will twist a wrinkle into the diaphragm.
Sure, I know the rear tag can be removed/replaced with a heat gun (or a newer tag), but an original tag will have a serial number and most don't bother to go though the hair dryer routine before messing with it.
Media blasted and clear coated...
Nice work tim, painted 2405s turned our well.
