It’s interesting how priorities change when heal

It’s interesting how priorities change when health issues arise that could have drastic consequences like death or paralysis. Our corgi-mix rescue dog Shasta had emergency surgery two days ago. She had a herniated/bulging disc at T13 and L1. Surgery went as good as they can ever expect and prayers have been answered at critical points. Now, it is up to her to respond, and regain movement of her hind legs. We have to use a sling to help her pee … and she requires a bit of work through the day. And now, I’m balancing her needs with work I need to do for this business and my graphic design business. It’s good to work with understanding clients! #pet #surgery #vetsurgery #spinalcordinjury #hemilaminectomysurgery #corgi #rescuedog #streetdogheroes #pupdogrescue

Custom AR XA “Hot Rod” in Granadillo from @woo

Custom AR XA “Hot Rod” in Granadillo from @woodworkerssource and @walrusoil Furniture Finish. I love this stuff!! May follow up with Walrus Oil Furniture Wax. The Zebrawood plinth is an extra I will build out once I get a parts deck. Both turntables will have a 1 inch thick base cover with holes in it for adjusting the springs. #walrusoil #furniturefinishing #turntablemods #audioupgrade #vinylpassion #exoticwood #vintage

This started off as an experiment. These Avid 102a

This started off as an experiment. These Avid 102a's are under the radar to say the least. But when I saw a pair locally for $40, I figured I couldn't lose no matter what. To my surprise, these 42 year old speakers sounded pretty good. They just didn't look that good. There was some cabinet damage. Not major. But enough to dictate new veneer. I will tell you that the plastic veneer on these took about 2 hours to remove with a really good heat gun. It was stinky and required some serious pulling of vinyl to pry it away and off.

My goal was simple. I wanted to see if I could restomod these using the existing drivers, a new Dayton film cap to the crossovers, Dayton binding posts and PE veneer ... and not be upside down in them. At the end of the day, I run a business and will sell these. So it would be nice to at least break even, given this was an experiment.

Where this gets interesting, to me at least, is that I learned a few things. First, don't use cheap veneer. This stuff came from Parts Express and while it could have just been the box I got, I had some issues with it. I found from online reviews I wasn't the only one. Again, my goal dictated that I make these affordable for someone to enjoy one-of-a-kind stylish vintage 2-way speakers.

The star of the show is the Calico Maple front baffles. I found a piece locally that was just big enough for me to resaw it and bookmatch it to a 3/8" thickness. This was drymounted (like veneer) to the front of the cabinets. The tricky part is the Maple veneer sides had to be painted BEFORE gluing the front baffles ... so when I do this again, it will be on cabinets I build from scratch with a mounting scheme where I can fasten the front baffle from the back of the cabinet. There is a reason Harbeth/Spendor does this. Now I know.

The Calico Maple baffles are sealed with hand mixed amber shellac (flakes), then the whole speakers were shot with about 5 coats of lacquer. The cabinets are not perfect, but look better than most vintage speakers you will find. There is no pretense that these are showroom head turners. But they are a joy to look at, and I hope I find someone in the PNW that will enjoy them as well.

Avid 102a speakers from March 17, 1980, with a twist - Calico Maple solid wood front baffles with black maple veneer sides. Read more in my post that’ll come out later today. The new film caps have to burn in now for a while. We’ll see how these break in.

Another fun 3 hour project with scrap White Oak on

Another fun 3 hour project with scrap White Oak on rails and Poplar end panels. Why so long? The pursuit of perfection takes time. Exact dimensions were needed where this will be used. All wood is planed to size. Holes are pre-drilled for nails. Rails are carefully glued to be flush. Sanding and prep for natural danish oil finish (wiping varnish), followed up with final wiping off of any excess oil spots before curing. It’s the little things that make a difference. #woodwork #woodworker #storage #cdrack #mediarack #musicstorage #whiteoak #audiofurniture #customaudio

Customer’s Yamaha R-1000 restoration completed and doing final burn in over the next 48 hours before calling it “good“. These are cool vintage receivers with 100 watts from 1981. Upgrades include fabricating better heatsinks for output transistors that are upgraded as well. Ready for another 40 years? #yamaha #audioupgrade #audiorestoration #vintagestereo #hifi #80s #fm

Prototype cable lifters made from European Beechwood + South American Walnut, finished with @walrusoil … this is a good way to put to good use scrap wood from other projects. These are about 1.625W x 1.75D x 1.75H inches. #woodwork #customwoodwork #audioaccessories #audioupgrade

The Focal pure beryllium inverted dome tweeter has

The Focal pure beryllium inverted dome tweeter has changed my opinion of metal dome tweeters. It is able to cover more than five octaves (1000Hz - 40kHz), and it has the natural presentation of a soft dome, that many of us tend to favor. @focalofficial @cardas_audio #stereotypesaudio #speakers #focalspeakers #loudspeakers #berylliumtweeter #audiosystems

Handy Tip: always measure the diameter of your bin

Handy Tip: always measure the diameter of your binding posts when ordering cables with spades. Focal speakers have cool custom binding posts that need 9mm wide spades … so 1/4” spades won’t work.

KEF K140 two-way sealed speakers. Don’t pass’e

KEF K140 two-way sealed speakers. Don’t pass’em up if you get a chance to hear some. Feed them clean power and elevate on stands with proper positioning. This post follows my last post on how a good EQ can improve a speaker at this price point. #kef #monitors #bookshelfspeaker #speakers #kefspeakers🇬🇧

AudioControl D-10 makes my KEF K140’s sound more

AudioControl D-10 makes my KEF K140’s sound more like $500+ speakers. I’m not really an equalizer guy, but I picked this up for a song in TX and figured I’d give it a try. Seriously amazed. The way this module is designed, you can pretty much set it and forget it … and just mess with it when you have songs or albums that you know could sound better. My main point is how this device can be used to overcome weak points in the speaker crossover design. #audiocontrol #equalization #vintage #analog #audioengineer

List your top 5 small speakers that match well with the Sansui BA-3000. Monitors or slim floorstanders. Pulled KEF K140’s off another small system for now. They are not shabby, with an 8 inch woofer. But some rock is too much for these guys. #vintagespeaker #loudspeakers #sansui #definitionseries #monitors #uniq #kefspeakers #classicrock #music

Nakamichi Dragon faceplate and chassis do not always line up as I I would expect … which may be why you don’t see many options on the market. So making Walnut side panels is a little tricky.
