I’m not planning on selling it. Having said that, I don’t want to do anything that would hurt its resale value. It hasn’t been used in about 30 years and I just figured I would get it totally restored. Am I making a mistake?

I'm happy that you're happy. Thank you for the kind words. Enjoy!

I’m sorry. I don’t remember even buying them.

OK, here are some real life numbers. I bought a pair of L 100 speakers for $60. They were in average to nice condition, except one woofer was a cheap replacement. I bought the correct woofer from eBay for $100. Swapped out the woofer, did a real quick steel wool and oil to the cabinets. I listed...

I’m so glad to hear they all arrived safely! Thank you for the kind words, Chris...

Thank you very much. The repair has been made.
