OK, if this is the "place Advent questions here" thread - here goes:
Just picked up a pair of "OLAs"; S/Ns 52585 and 52685 in walnut with the beveled edges around the baffle board... cabinets are rough, but all drivers work and it sounds fine.
In my mind's eye from the 70's - I recall OLAs as having a "furniture finish" - shiny polished wood to some degree, as opposed to the satin oiled walnut look?
Never having seen a mint pair ever since, was this recollection correct?
Also - the vinyl trim piece that is stapled inside the bevel and surrounds the inserted grills - was this once "gold plated"?
I ask as mine have given up any such plating if it existed, and are now a goldish-white look to them, and so I wonder if these could ever be "re-plated" or if a suitable sub exists?
Lastly, the Prev Owner (PO) had re-foamed the Masonite woofers bass-ackwards, is there any harm in listening to these for now until I start the cabinet re-hab process and re-foam correctly?
I ask as they sound good to my ears and I will not get to these for awhile yet.
TIA!

I have a pair of the pretty-much unheard of KLH-363s - Model 363 - see here: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/klh-363.658160/#post-8995299
As you can see, 3-way acoustic suspension, approx. 10" woofer with cloth surrounds. Do your 324s resemble these?
The backs of my 363s do not look that far off from my older KLH-32s, so I'm sure a trace of Kloss DNA remained behind when mine were made.

Thanks all for the replies! I have been playing these and they sound fine, but I will double-check the surrounds... Sooner or later I will redo the surrounds and the whole re-cap routine.
