After a couple of days filling/rubbing down/painting/rubbing down/painting etc I've got the backs repaired. It wasn't just the removal of the spring clips, there were a lot of bad scratches on the backs.
From certain angles and light conditions you can just about see the repair but generally I'm happy with the result and at least it's now airtight!

You're very kind Martyn. Have to try and reattach the Rogers labels next then replace the internal foam - kit is on its way from Falcon. So should be finished the restoration in a couple of days.
Wow. This is why I sold them - I could never have done such a good job. If the old guy who gave them to me could see the work going into them he'd be amazed. I doff my cap...

Foam arrived today. All cut to size so an easy fit - loose fitting below.
So, solder the crossovers to the speaker sockets, attach the tweeter grilles and wash and fit the speaker grilles.
That apparent blob on the grille is just a light anomaly.
Finished! They're playing and sound even better. Odd thing is they go louder without distress. I assume now the cabinets are properly sealed there's more back pressure on the mid-bass units so they work better :undecided: Voices are so lovely
Well done they look brand new and i bet they sound fantastic, good job mate!

Thanks Deano but close up there are still a few marks that show they are definitely not brand new! Adds a bit of character You're right about the sound though.
Really nice work on the repair. It totally boggles the mind why someone would do such a botch job on a great pair of speakers, wow. Nice to see them being taken care of properly and bringing them back to such a nice condition. Well done!
