Spensar Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I recently was able to get a pair of A-25s that sonically sound terrific and the grill cloth is very good but the cabinets need some help and the top of one in particular has some water spotting and rings. The other sides have various scratching but thankfully nothing to deep and no chunks missing. I have not tackled a speaker cabinet before and would appreciate any ideas on the water and rings in particular. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spensar Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Ended up trying the Howard's Restor-A-Finish walnut (medium brown) Debated going with neutral so that scratches would not pop as much but the walnut is better for other vintage gear as well. It did a great job in taking care of the water marks and rings. The top in the picture is the left hand one in the top picture. I read up enough to know it will only color in scratches but that is ok, the finish looks very presentable now and if the sanding urge strikes when the weather is warm I c an always go that route.

AUDC99 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I just used actual real Walnuts and rubbed them over the speakers. It doesn't even take but a handful! Works beautifully! I guess if it soaks in and needs more, well, dip into the bag and grab some more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
