Speakerlab Seven restoration

was just looking at the 8/81 retail price list for Speakerlab - grille cloth came in royal blue, black, brown, camel, red and was $3 per foot.

The Dacron fiberfill was 30 cents per sq. foot with a 40 sq. foot limit.

Great work guys, keep it up. Look forward to hearing them.

My original Speakerlab One kit speakers came with that Blue grill cloth. They had the fabric on big rolls in the Speakerlab store on Roosevelt. (I got the hideous red fabric when I traded up to a pair of 2's, Brown for 3's, back to Blue for the Super 7s)

So when you ordered a speaker kit, you could choose the color (I remember brown, red, blue) and they would cut the fabric from the roll and bundle it in with the components, pre-cut baffle, the wonderful tube of silicon glue and caulking gun, cabinets. ...all for about the cost of a 2009 tank of gas. :thmbsp:

Wow, cheap!

EDIT: $3 per FOOT is insane, do you mean $3 per yard?

It was $3 per foot, not square foot. The cloth was spooled on giant rolls, 5' or 6' long, near the front of the store. So I think you'd only need 2 or 3 feet of the stuff to cover a pair of Seven grilles...

I never calculated the amount / cost required since the cloth was included in the speaker building kits.

Thanks for the new photos! Sanding indoors with no dust collection system? Your dad is a very nice guy.

We have a big fan that vents directly out the window.
It did get strangely dusty though, it just sort of hung in the air without moving for a while.

Why don't I have an email from you asking when you should be here tomorrow?

If you don't show up for the veneering I'm keeping them.

Because I have been at school and busy with sports!

And no, you are not keeping them, and I sent you a PM saying I can't come today, but tomorrow I can.

I'm busy tomorrow. You knew you had sports all week.

I'm very very angry with you Laith, and you are doing a real good job convincing me to take these from you.
