Cheers, Tony. I was going to have the cabs French polished, just to get them looking mint [which is what I like with vintage gear, as I'm not into tatty-looking old tat, no matter HOW good it sounds], but dunno now if they need it. It would certainly save me the £240 I was quoted!

Yes, I know what you mean about grilles, and as long as they've been well-designed (and integral to the sound) I tend to agree, which applies to these Celestions. With the grilles on, the sound (and in particular stereo image) is definitely better defined/balanced and more natural, plus I dig the '60s retro-chic grille cloth'!

Marco.
