Restoring Speakers (Part 1)
woodworking
My Kappa 80 speakers are about 20 years old and I am in the process of restoring them. Over time, the speaker cones have oxidised and cracked, giving rise to muffled sound. Thankfully, there is a speaker cone expert in Sim Lim who offers reconing services and he was able to fix the speakers.
However, the wooden surface of the speaker has lost its lustre due to wear and tear over time. Initially, I sanded it down and applied wooden varnish but the outcome was a glossy and patchy surface which I did not like. Today, I took some time to sand the surface down and I am glad that I was able to restore it to how it looked originally.
