Ooh I had that in my watch list without reading it...that's totally butchered!

Now removed from watch list!

Inhuman I concur. I own a Zilba'p, a wonderful unit: so elegant, solid and with such a beautifully balanced sound. You should warn people with a heart condition not to look at pictures when they're so gruesome...

I have the same JVC gigatube that those woofers are from. They are some bad ass woofers but not suited to a 1 piece box.
The box they should be in is a bandpass box with bi amped inputs .

It's farkin' horrendous! If that was a barn find I'll bet the barn was in better condition. Who on earth would want that? £100.00???

Not worth a rub!

Now I’m finding I have the restoration bug
So please apply patience as I’m shockingly new
How does one start...

I’ve got a gf 91 as a patient

The motor isn’t adjustable unless disassembled

Ungh. Musically if it’s out of pitch (slow/ tonally unignoable-constantly/consistanly) how does one adjust

Without introducing a governer

Not worth a toss, the woofers aren't even the same

And the rear case is destroyed for some odd reason

That's nasty. I mean, just look at the expanding foam round the tweeters. That's the trouble with expanding foam. It expands
