Fairfax 400. I went to pickup the 400s. The owner tells me do you want this, grill off no badge. The he adds, I dropped one and the thing in the back fell in. Lastly you can have them for free.
Me sure, took the damaged one apart. One rear corner is damaged, but the drop got everything apart, the 1970s glue (epoxy) didn’t hold. The woof magnet came completely apart, the I decided to check the tweet which partially came apart. So during the last few days I been restoring (repairing) both drivers. So we’ll see how it turns out. The caps are already ordered, the veneer is original. After I get the sound dialed in, I’ll get going on the cabinets.
Next I’ll check the other one, sounds ok but at least the cap is probably way out of spec. The tweet pot sounded a bit scratchy.

Wow cool to read, I found a Facebook ad about some speakers. The guy had no real information other than Fairfax. This was 5 months ago, his is very busy and travels a lot plus covid. I did a bunch of searches, but not much came up. With the exception of the wall of sound model. So two days ago, I get a message on my IG account, were the guy tells me I know what those speakers are. They are the FX400, I say are you sure. He tells me sure, I own the 350s that my grandpa bought new in 1974, which I have in my living room right now, oh and I also have the original brochure from 1974. So yesterday, I finally got to meet the guy. They sound amazing, I bought them picking them up on Tuesday. He left again.
So that’s my Fairfax story. 😀

They are moving forward slowly. Here is link. Forgot to take photos. I replaced the caps, but I going to get better ones to do both speakers. Also the refinish including cloth. But too many projects and lack of room is not helping. I’m planning on getting some stuff from the human.
