Tannoys always full of surprises...

As the original grill cloth is unobtainium the only solution to bobbly cloth( and it's not a Ronco Fuzzaway)..

is to remove and flip it over, this means swapping the badge corner so they now dress to the right.

With so little cloth to play with my stapling isn't that neat but it's out of sight so not an issue imo.

Lining the cabs with dead sheet. I used a hot air gun to soften it up and a patented special tool for rubbing it down...

amazing work great to see these gorgeous speakers brought back to life, wish I had the confidence to undertake work like this when I refoamed old Sony speakers was a fair bit of work, but do sound superb, even if they look tatty
 
Not unusual for cabs of this age to have water marks and ring stains on the tops and with a bit of tlc they can be repaired. So, remove old finish and rub down veneer and re-wax.

Bingo, looking good, stains gone.

What a satisfying thread this is - no Netflix binge watch ! I’m so looking forward to the wired up and in position shots. Beautiful restoration work
