I wonder if a coat of Visaton LTS-50 will do more good or, by contrary, should I leave the cones of the bass drivers as they are?
I do not know what the Japanese from Kenrick Sound use in term of coating substance, but I would really like to know:

Anyone used this for a paper cone with improvements?

The first mid range is cleaner (a lot of dust/dirt....:scratch2. Seems like some signs of dirt will not go out. I uses baby wipes and even dish detergent for the beryllium dome. Other suggestions to remove the non removable marks (see last pictures)?
Try and dislodge the dirt with a very soft brush like those used in cosmetics? Brush lightly and wipe with a dry cloth.

I would like to second KrautNotRice comment did you use something like mothers aluminum polish or some other metal polish?

I would have been very tempted to leave the cabs as pictured in post 2#,The enclosures will be refurbished. At this moment, the old black veneer is removed and a new one is expected to be applied in a couple of days (see attached photos).
I gave the two enclosures to a good friend of mine which works in the wood/furniture business. So, in this respect I'm confident he will make a good job on these babies. I'm very keen to see the end result.
with that shabby vintage beige brown worn patina.
Of course,they may look very different on location,for all I know.

I am currently restoring a pair of Dynaco A-40 XL and I was thinking too to apply that black ink shown in the video. I took a screen shot of a video of a restoration work from Kenrick Sound of a pair of Scan-Dyna. I would really like to know as well what this stuff is.

For the aluminum surfaces of the drivers (the visible ones from the front of the speakers) I just used the finest sandpaper I could find. Nothing else.
