  1. I've bought a couple pieces from him before but never speakers. I think flipping vintage gear might be his full time gig. He'll haggle and lower his prices quite a bit, especially if the piece has been sitting around for a while.
  2. These popped up on Craigslist near me. Seem kind of expensive. But if I had room for them in my house, I'd try to haggle the guy. Any thoughts? https://richmond.craigslist.org/ele/d/richmond-klh-model-twelve-speakers-in/7272443453.html
  3. Thanks, Kent. Those pictures are just what I needed to visualize the job. Looking forward to the weekend and getting to work on this...
  4. Kent and Glenn, Thanks for the guidance! To make sure I understand everything... I let the Zpoxy sit in the gap for 15-20 minutes before clamping, right. I'm not sure I follow the part about the folded wax paper... after clamping, I press that along the joint to bring the edges together? Why wax paper? Thanks again Robert
  5. Recently, I've found repairing, restoring and most of all listening to vintage AR and KLH speakers to be a very addictive hobby. ? Anyways, a couple days ago, I was lucky enough to come across a pair of AR-4x for little more than lunch money. All drivers are original and working, the grills are in great condition. The cabinets for the most part are in pretty good condition too, except for one big issue: the diagonal cabinet joints where the side boards connect to the top have started to split or come apart at the edges so that there is now a gap of about 1mm on one joint and about 0.5mm on the other. They seem to have been stored in a basement or garage for many years, stacked upside down so that the top of the speaker in question was sitting on the ground soaking up moisture all that time. Since it's the top of the speaker, it's pretty unsightly. Has anyone encountered a situation like this? Any thoughts on how to address this issue? My first idea was to use some kind of wood filler in the gap...
