Michael C Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) I'm currently in the process of restoring 2 pair of powered Advents. I'm hopeful someone might have or know where I can get an owners manual as well as a schematic, I know it's a stretch but it would sure help. I sold these to a friend in the late 70's and when he passed away recently, his daughter discovered them in the basement. I was honored to get them and would love to bring the life back to them they deserve! If anyone can share anything about these amazing speakers, I'd love to hear. Thanks in advance! Michael C.

Pete B Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks, are you doing the work yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael C Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 No. I've actually taken them to a repair shop that specialize in older equipment. They've been around for a long, long time! The owner, Randy might reach out to you. Just a heads up. He's very knowledgeable. He was impressed with the docs you shared! Thanks again!

ajfink Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I selfishly I would like to hear how this restoration turned out, if it's not too much trouble. It's awesome you have the opportunity to have these semi-rare classics restored, it's unfortunate the events around it weren't the best. Hopefully the results helped bring it all full circle for you.
