Original speakers color? Or re-painted?

Gee they're a little too white aren't they.......... mine are nearly yellow.


Brian, I don't suppose you have a Volume Knob for one of these do you?

 

[bredgeo]

Yeah.... They are a little too white, are they not?

For the knob, I think last original was sold a while back... but I can make you one... let me know.

Here's mine, 1100 Yen, arrived earlier this week, needs more than a volume knob tho......

Speakers are turning [strike]yellow[/strike] brown. I'll send a pm about the knob.

If not (not the same....), you can try one of these for the time being:

Ahhhh.... Damn! Needs some work!!!!!!

I can make all the knobs you want, if you want.

looks re-painted or bleached to me.

They look pretty nice to me, clean !!

 

[bredgeo]

They look great white! fur-sure!!!

I would LOVE for a owner of the time (in/from Japan, of course) to be a "member" and have a pic of the times with his/her 1000 and/or be able to tell us if the speakers were originally white-white off-white cream, or just cream-brownish (and that is why most are now thew color they are)... Would love to know.

We could try and get an idea off a promotional brochure of the times as well (knowing that promotional pics would not be totally natural, making the speakers look whiter than they really were...)

ShIit, I would just like to know...

They LOOOOOOK great in white!

 

[bredgeo]

Ohhh.... Thanks (probably Fatdog) for putting the pic up directly..... I do not like doing that for one never knows if the "Owner" of the pic might "Get Upset" :'-(

 

[blah blah]
