@@tomczerwinski3739 Tom in your video you mentioned you were going to refurbish the speaker grill’s and that’s what I wanted to see so would you have that ? The reason I ask is because I’m doing my jbl l100 grills right now an I would love to see how you did yours.
Growing up, my one friend had a pair of these. We were always infatuated with the sound the potentiometers made when turning them. Loving the restoration, commencing with the watching.
absolutely love it,,,,,,,,,,,, great job,,,,,,,,,,,,70's stereo equipment is the best and worth saving. it breaks my heart to see you revive these speakers,,,,,,,,,,,,,, love you for it, you have done a service to mankind.....
I made my own speakers way back in 1976. They each contain one 15 inch woofer, 2 mid-range drivers, and 4 tweeters. The foam rings of the woofers eventually had turned to dust due to age. But for a cost of only $27, I obtained new rings and rebuilt the woofers. Once done, they were as good as new.
Nice work! I just restored a pair of 1981 JBL Model 96 3-ways. I didn't have to put new wood veneer on mine...just sand, light re-oil, and used Minwax paste with a buffer (several layers). They turned out very good...but, not the same quality as new veneer. They sound better than new. The tweeters are original and perfect. I found factory direct replacement (JBL) new midrange drivers (same impedance, specs). The stock white woofers were toast...found some new Eminence 10" bass guitar drivers with pure copper voice coils that are a PERFECT match. No cutting, no new holes. Also utilized the factory hardware! 40-year old speakers with new life!!!!
I bought my HPM-100 and HPM-40 along with a Pioneer SX-950 on Okinawa in 76. I was amazed at your skills Tom you made them look like I remembered them. Thank you for sharing your video with us. Ed
@@tomczerwinski3739 that was so meticulous in the skills. My wife wanted to downsize I don'[t any of it anymore. Yes I did have enjoyment for many years. It followed me until I retired in 93 from the USMC Those HPMs pumped out the sounds.
Beautiful! These were great speakers back in the day and still surpass in quality many modern speakers of today as well. Rebuild the crossovers with better coils and replace the aging capacitors and they'll sound much better too!
Man this brings back memories. These were the first set of speakers I bought myself back in the 70's along with the Technics SA-700 receiver. Thanks for sharing.
Stunning! Beautiful job, Tom. I enjoy building speakers, myself. I find the sanding and masking THE most important part to getting a nice finish. The more time spent on sanding and prep, the better the finished cabinet will look. I remember these beasts when I was in my teens back in the '70's. I had the pioneer catalogue with all the different speakers in it. Wish I still had it!
Gorgeous restoration !! I sold a boatload of HPM-100's back in my days at Franklin Music in Atlanta (Lenox Square). Still have my original JVC 501 receiver. You bring back very fond memories, Sir !!
Thank you Rip! I also sold quite a few of the HPM-100's when I worked in the audio industry way back in the 70's. When I found these a couple years ago on craigslist, I couldn't resist buying them and doing the restoration on these vintage Pioneer loudspeakers. But most importantly, it's the classic sound just as I had remembered.
I have a set that I bought in Japan in the 70's. You are definitely making me want to do the resto! I'm driving mine with a Sansui 901DB receiver (70's also) that I restored. You have done a Beautiful Job!
I bought my son a very nice working pair of these for $4 at a carport sale last year! You did an awesome job on these and I'm going to send this to him and see if would like to PROPERLY restore them just as you did. Looks like you have some nice equipment and a nice setup. Thanks for doing this great tutorial!
I only stopped on this because I thought these were the same model speakers I used to own. They were not, nor was the video what I thought it was, dealing with the cabinet rather than the electronics. Still watched the whole thing, as it was a great video, and a craftsman at work, but most of all, the voice over was awesome. Dude ought to be doing nature shows or something, like an American David Attenborough or something.
Thanks Anthony! The closest I ever got to utilizing my voice for an audience was playing DJ while running an illegal underground radio station back in the 70's...lol
A few years ago, I found a nice looking pair of these exact speakers in a neighbor's trash. I was quite surprised to find that they worked! The only thing missing was one of the cloth font covers. I sold them for what was basically a song. These here look fantastic!
Absolutely awesome job.... I love the classic speakers and receivers from the 70s and early 80s. Been looking for a 70s receiver and speakers to match. There’s a couple of HPM 60s and 100s out there but they’ve all looked a little tired. Maybe I should just get a pair and get them renovated over time.... Yours are truly beautiful
You have made me want to do my HPM's but I have a few but nothing like getting these baby's looking like new again. Great video, well done and above all enjoy!
"Thats a lot of work, but well worth it, and they will last decade's. 100% on Effort. And what better way to Enjoy, hooking then up to that Beautiful Hifi. And a Beatles LP. Very interesting Video. Cheers Grant 😊
Awesome! I'm from Argentina and i love this kind of old high quality speakers, incredible restoration and attention to detail, if u have more intresting things like this yo upload do it. Thanks
So good. I just came in from the cold garage sanding down a pair of Realistic Nova 10s for my daughter's first stereo in her room, xmas present🎁. I WAS really pleased with how it was coming along...
Outstanding craftsmanship, Tom. Those look way better than new ! Thanks for sharing your video, it is quite inspiring ! I have a complete all - Pioneer, all -`70s system, with several restored components, I can picture your HPMs in place of mine :-) For those who may wonder (or question) the power-handling ability of the HPM-100, I`ve had mine for 25+ years, and have driven them with a Pioneer SX-1250 (160 wpc), a Luxman R-117 (160 wpc), and a Carver M-500t amp (250 wpc). They have been cranked to very high levels, with no issues (and no distortion). I took the plunge, and recently purchased a MoFi One Step copy of "Fragile" by Yes....man, does it sound GOOD through the HPMs !
Thank you! Pioneer electronics from the 70's was no doubt some of the best in the mainstream market place. I believe most of us that still possess this vintage gear take great pride in owning and enjoy listening to any kind of music through this classic equipment. That is certainly some impressive electronics you've used with the HPM's. "Fragile" is a great album to audition on the HPM-100's. You've got me sold! I'm going to have to add the MoFi version to my collection.
Similar to my Pioneer CS-303 speakers from 1983 which I am still using today. I had my '82 Akai AM U01 amp in for repair (capacitators) last year, and the engineer checked over the speakers mentioning they were in very good condition. Old tech amazes me sometimes.
Thank you for the pleasure of watching the professional work ! The result is excellent. I assume that you have a lot of experience working with speakers and materials to improve the appearance. Спасибо за удовольствие от наблюдения за профессиональной работой ! Результат прекрасный. Предполагаю, что у Вас большой опыт работы с акустическими системами и материалами для улучшения внешнего вида.
Absolutely beautiful job, and since I owned these speakers back in the day, it really struck a nerve with me! If we could just go back in time, I loved those speakers and have no idea who I sold them to, sure wish I had them now.
Thanks Robert! Not only did I own a set of these speakers back in the 70's, but I also sold many of these Pioneer's when I worked in the hi fi industry back then. Today their value keeps rising and those in good condition are going for well over $1000
I bought a pair of these speakers in the late 70s and still have them and the finish is still really good. I had to replace both tweeters because the cone seemed to have shifted and was making a rubbing sound. I found a place that sold an exact duplicate.
Beautiful job with these. I love to them come back to life. My first audiophile experience came in 1977 with my college roommates JBL L-100s hooked up to a nice Marantz receiver. I've never forgotten that sound. These, I'm sure, sound quite similar.
Thank you John! I remember the JBL L-100's very well. Most likely one of the best speakers of it's time. That's all due to Bart Locanthi, VP of engineering at JBL, who designed the famous L-100's. He left JBL in the 70's and was then hired by Pioneer to develop a new speaker with his experience and expertise and to compete with the L-100's. And the rest is history...
Это одни из самых моих любимых акустик, огромное уважение Тому и его золотым рукам, такое ощущение как бут - то в сказке очутился, просто здорово, здоровья Вам и дальнейших успехов, с Уважением Юрий.
Nice work, sir! I've got four ESS floor speakers that need this level of attention. Sadly, I left my nice big shop when we moved so I'd need to do this in my garage. I'll look for a video of your workspace but if you haven't done one, I'd sure love a quick overview. especially your spray 'booth'. Thanks!
The one thing that I learned from this video that I know I can actually do,is go out and buy a bar stool with a spinning top. That is a really handy idea.
Отличное видео! Очень приятно наблюдать за работой мастера. Привет из России!Great video! It is very pleasant to watch the work of the master. Hello from Russia
Tom Very nice My father had a set of Utah speakers like that i listen to so many record thru them and receiver setup like that as well brings back so many memories.
Nice shop! I always envy people who have shops like that. I have all the tools and i love wood working and electeonics work but my garage is a multi duty single car garage that i use for electronics, woodworking and storing a car. So i always have to move stuff around every time i want to start any project.
Thank you! Even though my shop might look fully functional, I also have to move machines, workbenches, and tools around so I can still pull my truck in the garage. Most everything in my shop is on casters and has its own place out of the way when not in use.
@@mdr4670 I haven't either. A bit scared they might sound different. But tempted if I could find the correct ones and of good quality. I'm not much good at electronics.
Those look awesome!! I just picked up a pair of these today. I learned that there were 2 versions of these speakers. A 100w & a 200w version. These are the 100w as they don't have the silver ring around the vent hole. The 200w version does. Anyway, this is what I want to do to the pair I have.
We have DSP stuff today that is amazing, but does not last because it is made disposable. The 70's was indeed a good time to be a fan of well made hi-fi.
Really fine. Love to see how it was done. I like to do some work with my speakers to. Now I I'm not so insecure about weneering. I have a pair of HPM 50. But they are just black vinyl.
can we just take a moment to appreciate the video production, pacing and narration was excellent
Much appreciated!
Yes Sr!
Indeed... I Concur! I Appreciate your video Tom!❤💯

Dude you make all us 70's folk real proud. Craftmanship even for an rocker like you is par excelle'nt !!!
Respect you made them look better than they did when they were on sale 👍👍👍
This was satisfying to watch. My father left me a set of vintage Pioneer speakers from the 70’s. I have to try them out!
Great job, so pleased to see a pair of old speakers been brought back to life.
Growing up, my one friend had a pair of these. We were always infatuated with the sound the potentiometers made when turning them. Loving the restoration, commencing with the watching.
Now THAT is a work of art that belongs in a museum!!
They look like they came right out of the store , awesome job, thanks for showing us!!!
This is why, despite being a vintage speaker, it is excellently beautiful, flawless.
Just like the Blue Line gear. Timeless.

Beautiful restoration on a set of timeless floor speakers. Can't go wrong with a pair of these!
Thanks Craig! The classic Pioneer HPM-100's are one of my all time favorite speakers.
Congratulations.
They look more beautiful than new!

Beautiful work. Makes me want to try restoring a set of speakers myself.

Turned out very Beautiful

Really fine. Love to see how it was done. I like to do some work with my speakers to. Now I I'm not so insecure about weneering. I have a pair of HPM 50. But they are just black vinyl.
Awesome video. Just a speaker nerd thing but I'd be tempted to flip one the front baffles to get a mirror image with left and right channel.
Absolutely Amazing Work. I had a friend that had 4 hooked up in his small living room. Audio Nirvana.
I think they looked good without the Vernier but still really nice clean simple restoration
Best video on this subject goes to you kind sir
