I’m glad it’s something that you enjoy. But it’s almost fishing season again, so you may want to check out my New2ufishing channel which will get active again. Thanks for supporting the channel. It does motivate me!
You’re a life saver. I had bought those speakers at a Goodwill for $20. I had them listed at eBay, and an interested party wanted to see the condition of speaker and wires. I actually had no idea how to remove them, until I came across your video. I can’t thank you enough. I actually thought they came off the wood seam. It would’ve been horrible. They’re in excellent condition. Thank you kindly.
I had to go back and listen for myself. I actually am in 100% agreement with you. That’s probably the first time I’ve heard it too. Glad you enjoyed the video. Keep watching and commenting.
Nice speakers , I use to own a real nice Scott tube amp and tuner the amp I rebuilt replacing all the caps inside then i was stupid and sold it for cash Scott started making Radios in my town of Victoria BC Canada way back in the day .
The S15 is a surprisingly fine sounding speaker, very coherent with fine imaging. Not many people know about them. They would be a top pick of mine for vintage speakers (along with Dynaco A25s).
I agree totally. They are very full. I actually can't believe no one has purchased them yet , as they are still sitting here among 20 other pairs and they sound better than ~18 of those. I'll just keep enjoying them until they are gone. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes, good idea. It certainly has a patina to it at this point. One reason I didn’t is there are foam strips around the perimeter, which push the grill up against the retaining wood trim piece. And frankly, I didn’t want to spend the time, effort and cost replacing them.
Yes, I always try to use real wood to fill holes, preferably sawdust from that actual item you are filling. This is the best method. When I am forced to use a wood putty, I actually mix the stain in with the putty. This takes longer to dry, but then you have a color matched putty. It usually doesn’t even require staining after the fact. In this case, someone else had our use putty to fill the holes and I was left trying to cover it. I actually ended up using one of my furniture markers to blend it better after I used the stain on it.
I am re-capping a pair of Scott 196B from 1984 msrp $569 a pair and 96 db spl 3 way acoustic suspension (sealed) 12" woofers 3 ways so there loud and i like them a lot.
The Scott products were definitely top-of-the-line for their day. It’s nice to keep them going for the future, so your recapping is certainly a worthwhile activity. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very nice work as usual and I'm really liking your channel so far! I hope you get newer videos up soon! Keep up the good work!

23:17 words I never thought I'd hear in a UA-cam video.

Will do.

I’m Glad the video brought back some memories for you. Sorry some of them were bad memories. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Sure and thanks again for the great video. Scott was a great company and that was evident in their speakers.
A tip you could of taken the drivers out and refinish the baffle Board but very good restoration job :-)

Have you ever tried using a wood based putty to fill holes, which would then absorb stain? If so, do you still prefer your method?
