Find attached some photos about the original layout of the crossover placement and wiring as well as the rotary selector switch from the other cabinet. You can see how dirty they are. No wonder why they degrade the sound so much.
There is also one photo on which you can see them cleaned.
I hope you like the photos and convince you to clean yours :-)
Shuggie!
Are there any news about your experiment with the cabinet opening?

No news, since I am juggling a busy work schedule as well as 6 week-old puppies!

If only we'd known at the time..... And old ones can be properly serviced too..
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
