    The horns look great!

    Yeah some of those screw in drivers are in for eternity.

    +1. I gotta agree, the horns came out rally nice. Something to think about for folks in the future, the horns always seem to get beaten up a bit.
    Nice job all around, cabs look great.

    Man those horns look perfect. Did I miss where you said what you used to spray them with?

    My only beef is those woofers; hard to unsee them. Good luck in your hunt for 2214s

    Well, what did you think would be a fair price for a good pair?

    I must say, the glaring downside to dirt cheap vintage finds is usually the cost of bringing them up to snuff. That said, to most of us it's worth it.

    Exactly! It's like you feel you must prevail upon the gods to continue the trend or you must undo their gift.

    ive seen it sold from ebay like 250 before for a clean pair...and we all know ebay is overpriced because the sellers are the ones bidding on their own stuff...

    I found a pair of 4425's on Craigslist a while back. One had a grill and one didn't. I sent the one grill to Huntley Audio in Illinois to be duplicated. The copy he made is indistinguishable from the original. The 4425 grills he now sells are clones of the original 4425 grill that I sent him. If you want a pair of grills that are exactly like originals, give Huntley Audio a call, or check out his eBay page.
