I’ve done my fair share of this. I lost count of the number of speakers I have bought just to reform. No money in doing it, so just for the love of the speakers. Quite a few JPWs and Gales are back in use as a result.
I’ve also bought a lot of bits because I’ve seen them in a sorry state and knew I could sort them. Original Arcam Alpha and Delta range are often abused, but the tops, sids and knobs are all Matt black and the items can look like new with just an hour or two’s work and a bit of primer and black spray paint. I just bought an Arcam Alpha 3 amp which had a badly marked top and sides, plus knobs that had been restarted in gold and copper! A total mess, but it will be like new very soon.
I’ve also restored NVA cubes and a pair of Dynamo A25x too. It’s always satisfying and it’s something I miss doing when overseas.
I know Dave tinkers with stuff and I’d really like to hear more about anyone’s adventures.
