I usually resize (Quick resize/resample) my pics in Faststone image viewer to 800x600.
I'm so old school, for a quick and clean job I use Microsoft Paint for resizing.

I’ll second that on the wires. If you go in to replace the capacitors you may as well replace the internal wires while you’re at it. Some nice oxygen free copper wire made for running inside the walls, 12g or 14g, depending on the size and rating, will make a real difference. I’ve restored a few pairs of old speakers and the wire in them was substandard. Stick it to the side with a hot glue gun, so it doesn’t rattle, with enough slack to remove the speakers.

Falcon Acoustics do a few good choices at good prices and it’s Hi-Fi Collective for a broader and more exotic range.

Smashing, tomorrow I'll have a look at the numbers printed on those capacitors, then have a poke around Falcon's website.

You might want to check out what Cricklewood Electronics have to offer on ebay. They tend to be cheaper than Falcon.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
I shop at “www. Partsexpress.com”, I’m not sure if they sell internationally? But I think they do. They’ve got everything you need to build speakers from scratch, or restore one in most any condition. All manner of Capacitors, at different price levels. And good wire too. I can spend all kinds of time just looking at all the speakers they sell, for DIY projects.
