SDA 1Bs in the house

Picked up a pair of SDA 1Bs. They are in near perfect condition, except for the grills, which have seen their share of cat lovin'. I only got to listen to them for a short time last night, but man they sound amazing. With these things being near twenty years old, I'm sure the crossovers could use a rebuild. Does anyone have a parts list for the crossovers on these, and what other upgrades should I consider?

I don't have any YET, but what I have seen recommended updrade-itus:
Mortite & Duramat for the drivers. Upgraded Binding posts. Cabinet dampen.

Nice!!
I found a pair near me that I want to look into, but have not had the time to stop and look them over. Are the surrounds on the mids foam or butyl?RT2000i - Front

The surrounds are butyl. If you can get them for a good price, jump on them. You won't be sorryDenon PMA-900V

Welcome to Club Polk. You can clean the woofers with windex. Stick around. Lots of SDA freaks here willing to help.
BenPlease. 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

Those SDA's will clean up nicely. Congrats!
