One good thing about being retired, for us at least, is that we have time to indulge in various hobbies and pastimes. Vince is quite passionate about his photography and spends a lot of time either taking photos and/or...

I’m getting lots of inspiration from fellow members today The Horse (@TheHorse) was talking about obsessing over the details when restoring a speaker. You can catch up on his discussion, The biggest restorations are NOT the most...

After doing my laundry, I will be going to the city's town proper to get my mom's old photo today. I asked them to restore it. It seems she loves this particular photo because I saw it on her cabinet the other day. So I managed to...

Sanding, then a gig. In the 100 degree F (37.7778 C) sun. Wish me hydration and survival.

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 20 Jun 21

Today should be an interesting one. I've been doing some work on the speakers I've been restoring this morning, as well as testing out my new Shure SM-58 microphone. At 2 PM, we have a music gig (the is the "newer" band) at a...

How MyLot will help me make about $165 next week alone!

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Apr 21

I have been working on a pair of large Pioneer loudspeakers from the 1970s for almost a month. They came to me pretty scratched up, and with a couple of plant rings on the tops, but I am now on the home stretch. One really bad...

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Feb 21

Like many Americans (and others), I am frustrated that I am making a fraction of what I usually make through teaching, counseling, etc. But I am glad to make a few extra "bucks" through my restoration "business." This past...

I'm Not Feeling It

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 20 Jan 21

I watched the inauguration this morning. I won't say it was a waste of my time. Everyone said the right words - unity, reconciliation, restoration. Yet, I'm not feeling it. Instead, I feel like someone died. I know the...

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Jan 21

Exactly a month ago, I posted about the last surface I had to finish on a pair of 50-year-old loudspeakers I'm restoring for a "client." I actually finished the surface in a week, but the speakers are still here, waiting to be...

Someone here in the Bay Area sent me a Fisher amplifier cabinet for restoration. I usually prefer it when "customers" bring stuff to me and pick it up in person. But he said he would pay me handsomely and be thankful if I...

Tiny speaker update

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 2 Nov 19

I'm still working on the very small speakers my friend sent me home with the other day. They're Goodwins Maxims, and I think I will be able to make them look beautiful (see the speaker to the right). The wood is NOT walnut, but...

I'm actually almost done with the Acoustic Research AR-4xes I'm restoring. As promised, here is a picture of the corner that was "missing in action." I put new veneer in there, sanded it flush, and will see what it looks like...

Can you keep a secret?

The Horse @TheHorse (238325) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Sep 19

Brotherly Love

Denise Knight @gnatsmom (2575) 7 Jun 19

There is nothing like sibling love. My grandsons fight and argue. They get jealous of each other and compete for attention. After every dramatic episode, though, they are playing again; they are best friends again. Wouldn't it...
