    Thanks Dan.
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    nspindel, Thank you for such an informative thread. I have not only subscribed to it, but I have also printed out a hard copy for future reference.

    Glad you're finding it useful. Hoping this thread manages to inspire other similar restoration projects. Around here we love seeing the vintage speakers being treated with the respect they deserve. I will never part with these.

    The finishing touch! The Polk badges on these things were not looking great, I hadn't re-applied them after I did the grill cloth. But I cleaned them up with some Testors model paint - metallic gold and flat black. I just installed them on the grills and they look really good. Not a professional paint job, but I'm pretty happy with how they came out:

    Awesome. Dont skimp on the packaging either man. Although they cant look any worse than they do now. You may as well include those super bad stands Larry gave you because they were so ugly he couldn't stand the sight of them....
