    Any plans to clear coat the brass?

    Give it a few weeks, it will clearly be coated with Verdigris

    I'm doing a finer grit now, and then scotchbrite pad. Then I'll use Mothers diatomaceous. On 360 grade brass, should maintain its luster for a long time.

    I went with a full 6" diameter and drilled the cabinet fasteners further out to brace the rear of cabinet that much more.
    These things are heavy.

    It's lunch time.Going get myself a chicken bacon sandwich.
    Happy Memorial Day friends...

    Ivan, I have some old machined 360 brass part offs and it hasn't oxidized much. The alloy is almost like day one from years ago...The OG shop speakers have taken a lickin' no doubt. Still jazzin'....

    Ok, well a few other options are lacquer for brass or Renaissance wax

    Edit: If you use the spray lacquer be sure to clean the brass first with a degreasing agent.
