Fair points Andy - have to say I wish mine were not so mint as I would be tempted to do a re-design of the cabs. They are infinite baffle so very tight in the bass - I don't think a larger (sealed) cab would ever make it overpowering, it would just breathe a bit easier, I suspect.

Ansar polyprops, super caps look simular to the originals being plain black millitary type look......I think people get a bit obsessed about X Overs being in the same box as the units, if it's that much of a concern to people why not mount a thick copper plate infront of the board! Tie each cap down or hot glue em..Originally Posted by REXTON
Thanks guys, but the clamps appear to have done the jobThese are quite early mark one 44's. I'll probably be getting the multimeter out and testing the caps! I wondered about mounting them externally to get them away from the bass magnet, it cant be doing them much good
Any suggestions for cap replacements ??

Andre,
Your correct I could mount copper over the x-o, but i already have the materials in to make a nice wooden box which I'll probably mount on the rear of the speaker. This saves the expense of copper. I'm only really going to be spending money on where it's needed! I'll be posting some more picks tonight when I get time.

The restoration is slow work! I'm taking my time over these! Just a quick photo showing the cab being repaired, and another showing the effects of teak oil. This stuff is amazing. My crap camera work does not do the speaker cabs justice. A couple of layers of oil and they are like new. A little more work on the rear of the cab to seal it up and then the cross overs are coming out and rewiring begins!!

Be careful, some veneer adhesives can be weakened by teak oil. I use white french polish or satin varnish myself.

Sikkens 'TS' Cetol 'Translucent' low build microprous satin finish is the best stoof on earth.. Ive used it for donkies years both at home & when i was cabinet making.. I've always used spray guns but There's a foolproof secret to application by hand
I underlined Translucent because using finishes with tint of colour is yet another pet hate.

Funny you should say that Andre, I detest self coloured finishes/varnishes too. They just never look right.
