Quad ESL63 refurb

[loo]

After years of faultless use I decided my 63's deserved a little love and attention,
six months later with lots of distractions they are finally finnished.
Work involved included all new panels and new ht supplys and new integral frames/stands
to address the Quad's somewhat wobbly nature, heres a few quick phone pics ,I have a full
photo set of the work involved which I will add later when I find the memory card they
are stored on, if anyone is interested.

Wonderful - much more attractive than the original cosmetics. Well done, a superb piece of work.

[walpurgis]

Very neat. I can see a lot of effort went into these.

[Avinunca]

Beautiful. I would love to do something like that when I can find a pair.

Thanks for The positive comments chaps , I must admit to being
Pleased as punch with the aesthetic outcome especially when they
attained wife approval , but the real plus is the rigidity no more
Wobbling around:)

[wee tee cee]

[loo]

Hi Tony. Lightening fast and super dynamic , esencially they sound
like new well worth the cost with nothing coming close for the cost
Of refurbished panels
