So, I'm replacing the caps. Got one done and just removed the other.

I noticed one thing that might be an issue with the "speaker of lower volume". That is the one that has the replaced 8-Ohm cap. Well I guess the previous owner figured 16-Ohms was close enough.

And to set the scene, we have Treasure of the Sierra Madre playing in the background.

Oh, and one more little problem. It seems like the two of the caps were run to ground inadvertently.

All done. I invited Aretha over. She's sitting on my right speaker singing Chain of Fools at the moment. Gotta go and listen.

Hah Love it. There's nothing in my experience better than a sweet pair of dialed in Altecs and a smokin' vocal tune from the days when engineers were engineers.
