    Your work is stunning. That is beautiful.

    Anyone else notice the life force above the speakers?

    Eh I don't like em. They are much nicer than mine!
    Congrats on the workmanship.
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I'd use a vacuum or some silver tape to pull the dust caps out. Sometimes the vacuum doesn't work because the cap is too porous and it doesn't grab. Then I just grab the silver tape and scrub a piece in to where its dented and SLOWLY pull out... pulls dents out like magic!

    Thanks for the bump Skip. Talk about return from the dead. The system has changed some over the years, but the speakers remain.

    Luther, your work blows everything away!!! Do you offer tours?

    Skip, thanks for the bump.

    Luther, thanks for the new look and what a "man can do" if he sticks to it. By the way, I like the story regarding your grandson and the marshmallow. He will appreciate it very much when he is older.

    There are quite a few names in this thread that I have not seen previously. Most of them have quite a few posts. Good history.

    I'm always open for audio. It grows on you--> hobby --> passion --> obsession --> lunacy.

    Beautiful speakers. Excellent craftsmanship. They do not look like DIY speakers. I am sure they sound spectacular. I would love to hear them sometime.
