Hi guys, I picked up a pair of Boaton Acoustic A400's at a thrift store about 5 years ago --- (I know, I'm an idiot for not fixing them years ago)
The surrounds need replaced and both particle board bases were busted up when I got them - luckily ONE of the metal legs was still attached by a screw, so I have an original to reproduce the 3 other legs from.....
So..... I went to Lowes and bought a 4' piece of 1/2" square steel and cut 3 more legs from it. My brother is making me 2 new bases from solid oak with a solid center (I think he used Poplar for the center piece)........
Now i have to drill the holes in the metal legs..... I ordered plastic end caps today -- and of course I need to paint the legs black. Also ordered new surrounds today.
More to come........ Dan
