The JBL Century 100 speakers are done..

I restored a pair of early L100's from their painted black glory. The paint was removed using Circa brand remover. Put it on a for a few minutes, up to four or so, then start peeling away with a flat edged and wide metal trowel. Once removed, lightly sand then oil. The front baffle was painted using pitch black flat paint of the latex variety. three coats later, she's looking good. I need to sand the front top edges then oil the sides. New speaker connectors (3 way binding posts) were installed to replace the chincy connectors JBL used with the masonite backer. The backer is removed and replaced with proper connectors, higher quality and better sound.
