  Looks good! A brown alcohol marker from Micheals works pretty good on the damaged veneer corners to cover up or hide the light areas.

  Wish I lived closer - would love to meet ya and discuss Vega&apos;s ... I love them and have loved all your videos. &nbsp;Thank you for the work!<br>If my 217Rs weren&apos;t so heavy I would ship them to you and have you restore them. &nbsp;Again thanks for your work!

  I know this is an old video, but that foam gasket that you keep removing from the speakers/tweeters is meant to create an air seal for the cabinet.<br><br>Removing that gasket behind the tweeter will allow air to seep in or out when the speaker is playing, which can alter the sound.

  Nice job! I love the unique front cover. Got me some DC 12 now.. Years back I had the DC 1515, but they need to much space and are hard to get or to expensive 😅.

  I&apos;ve always just used tung oil or Danish oil. It&apos;s one step apply and polish I always use triple 000 or 00 steel wool. Restore a finish is pretty good. It&apos;s an okay replacement for the best stuff that got banned. It was called Gillespie&apos;s Antique Restorer. It was great. The best wipe on (always with steel wool) refinish type product that was available. It would melt into many cabinets finishes. <br><br>If I wasn&apos;t going to sand, but I would sand since there&apos;s no reason to not sand the cabinets If you&apos;re restoring us set a speakers unless they are in perfect condition otherwise it&apos;s simple and only takes a little time. Tung oil is the classic and easy finish. <br><br>I&apos;ve also always used good spray glue when doing grill covers. Make them just like the factory did.
