I had a pair of L60T speakers that took me FOREVER to sell a few years back - no one on Cl wanted them and I refused to part them out,
or price them under $100 so someone ELSE could make money parting them out! But they finally sold.
Months ago, my friend Steve had a pair of empty L60T cabinets he offered to me - pretty good shape with minimal veneer chips -
No grill or drivers, just empty cabinets. I had plans to do something cool with them, but spring, and then summer has passed,
winter is coming, and I'm cleaning up the basement so - they had to go. They're too big to ship.
I offered them elsewhere locally for free & got no responses. I really hate to just put them on the curb for trash pickup.
Then I had a brainstorm.
My wife is pastor at a local church, and they always have need of tall stands for candles and such during various seasons ...
so I came up with a brainstorm to turn them into walnut plinths. I pulled the port trim and rubber grommets (for the grills I did not have),
coated the face and back panel with rubber cement, then glued on black foam poster board, and voila!
$30 for 4 sheets of foam board and rubber cement & they'll leave here and go for use at the church ...
and I get a cleaned up space in the basement (and they won't get abused as plant stands)!
She plans to drape a cloth runner over the top and 2 black sides - so the walnut veneer side shows -
but even without an altar cloth or runner, they don't look bad.
