Well even though these were so far gone my lovely client has asked me to bring them back to life in what ever form I see fit. There story will continue.
Always interesting to watch you work Matt, Im fairly new to restoring speakers myself, so it's a learning curve for me, just completed a pair of Wharfedale W3's, which have turned out well....I do fancy as pair of Dittons though!
I have just finished filling dents and sanding some Rogers LS6 cabinets . A old joiner who has vast furniture restoration experience showed me how to layer 3 shades of wood filler ( white wood filler tinted with stain in 3 concentrations ) to closely match the grain patterns , which the sander reveals as it it smooths out the work piece . . Not perfect , it never will be , but mucho better than globs of beige filler . Anyways , you just layer the colored filler like the grain pattern basically with a teaspoon and costa coffee stirrer into the dents and gouges . im leaving it 48hrs to cure and then its french polished to finish.
@@AndrewNeilBaird on bigger gaps I do use different filler colours in combination and drag a cocktail stick through it to make grain. Works well. If its that bad though I tend to consider reveneering

A wonderful philosophy and great to see.
Great to see you work on these, makes me look lazy - I have 44s too
Evening Matt👍👍

You've been "subconsciously collecting these drivers"? Sounds like something I'd tell my wife...

Sounds like you're getting the stair rods we're getting in Wales....
