AR-2ax Cabinet Restoration

Okay, this job is finished! I found the original grill cloth looked very drab against the pine and was showing it's age even after washing. I had leftover Guilford of Maine Silver Papier from making acoustic panels for my wife's yoga studio so thought I'd try it out. I think it looks better against the pine finish.

After the recap there was a change you'd expect in the presentation. Percussive instruments like acoustic piano had more liveliness in their dynamics. I also could now pull back the resistive pots for the HI and MID from being all the way up. Luckily the pots were in great condition when I opened them up for a cleaning.

This was a great experience and I can't thank the contributors here enough!

Next up, a pair of KLH Model 5's that I'd like to better color match the cabinets (have started another topic for advice).
