M90 Freshened Up...

[mellymelsr]

2 years ago I did a respray and tweeter upgrade on my M90 with great results. It certainly looked better after the respray and sounded a little crisper after the tweeter upgrade. Down side was the new tweeters were all black with black dust caps, the original woofers had some sun fade as well as the VU meters.

I decided to rectify all those issues. I took apart the VU meters and retraced all the faded lines with a bright red permanent marker. I resprayed the woofers and tweeters with Dupont medium blue fabric spray. I then installed new chrome dust caps on the tweeters and now this M90 is a "10" once again. Here are some before and after pics...

Thanks Bobby...got the tweeters from partsexpress,com, they are made by Sony but fit perfectly and sound better than the originals.

I found some old Sony shelf speakers and removed the chrome caps...got lucky because they are the exact same size and shape as the original chrome caps...and thanks Norm it's great to be back.

I attached them on top of the original black caps using rubber cement.
