KLH model 20 speakers...

<< < (2/2)

gdv:
One other issues I did not mention before...  ONE of the woofers was redoped w/ "black stuff." 

Like the attached picture...

I have no idea of "what" was used... 

The other is "original"  Like this...

I really do NOT want to invest much more time (or money) in the project...  I would like to have a set of model 20's that I can sell...

My questions are...
1. Do I try to "match" the other "redoped" speaker?  Not sure how to do this?
2. Just buy another "original" model 20 woofer and redope this and my "original" woofer?  I purchased the "Vintage AR" doping solution from epay...

Thanks for your thoughts...
George

Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
I'd be willing to bet that the "black stuff" is Wet Look.

If I'm looking to flip, I dope the other to match and send them along.   I might even still have some of that stuff in the basement, if it hasn't all dried out (then it would be "dry look", I guess).

MacGeek:
I am not sure a pair of working model 20s is worth much more than the replacement woofer, at $50.  If flipping is the goal, I agree with STaL

gdv:
If anyone has one/a "spare" KLH model 20 woofer (4 ohm), please let me know...

As I have no way to "MATCH" the one "surround modified" woofer, I am looking for one woofer...  If no one on the forum has one, I'll probably put the speakers back in the "to do" storage room!  :)

I've already checked epay & there is nothing in my price range...

Happy New Year & thanks for looking!
George

Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
I kept meaning to PM you.   I found my Wet Look and it is still liquid if you want to try it.   That's what I would do before sinking money into speakers you plan to flip anyway.
