Good advice re: no steel wool! Hadn't thought of that and the magnet. Think ahead and a little common sense! I've got it bad now! Just bought some 2A's yesterday and the wife's into it now too. She sent me an email this a.m. re: some 4x's for sale. It's just gonna get worse, isn't it?!

Thanks Genek and Dan! This has been very informative and interesting. Everyone's been great! Now comes the part where we all drop our jaws. When I split from my ex-wife, I didn't get all the components that I originally had. It's taken me days of web-surfing to locate what I ended up missing out on, because I didn't have a name. So I had to surf for pictures. Along with the AR 1's were a pair of DuKane Ionovac 'Tweeters'. They could still be floating around Denver, or in storage somewhere, or God forbid, the dump. But, hopefully not stealing someones copyrighted photo or anything,...they looked just like this!
I remember them being a major pain to hook up (I was young), but they would pierce your ears! Damn! Wish I still had 'em! Not quite worth any kind of reconciliation, but maybe a phone call or email! No idea what those would have been worth. Just hearing them again would be incredible. Alas...

Don't think I want to 'sand' these per se. Maybe some steel wool (0000)? There are some dings/dents that I may tackle, but in great shape for their age and how many times they've been moved. My Van Halen guitar came factory with an unfinished maple neck. The manufacturer recommended lemon oil, which is all I've ever put on it. It's silky smooth. Anyone ever use it for something of this nature? Thanks, Mike

That looks like the unfinished pine version, which also had a birch molding around the grill.  If so, then the finish would have been applied after delivery by the owner.  Does it have a gloss?


Best I can tell, it has no finish whatsoever. Unless it was just a light oil coat, it's raw. Smells of pine(very nice actually) and is definetly ply. No gloss to it. I think that's just the reflection of the flash.

The pool cue repair technique is probably a good choice, since you appear to have birch or korina (hard to tell without shots of the sides) cabinets, which would have been spray-lacquer finished rather than with oil.


Here's a side (top?) shot...
