    Re: Best method to restore M17 cabinets

    Altecs in the kitchen? Sounds good to me! My wife would kill me.

    These cabs have been in storage since I moved to NY. All my big speakers and cabs are in storage.

    I need to build a barn/shop so I have room! And maybe find a mate for that single 210 cab.

    Well, we use(d) a hand held steamer (iron) for taking wrinkles out of clothing.

    Hi. M17 cabinets, a classic choice! I would like to stress the importance of retaining the original features of the cabinets. If there are any unique parts or hardware, try to salvage and restore them. But if the cabinets cannot be restored, consider replacing worn or damaged parts with quality substitutes to ensure the longevity of the cabinets, see mainecabinetcompany.com/ for some options. Remember to take proper measurements when ordering new cabinets or replacing fronts. With dedication and attention to detail, your M17 cabinets will shine again!

    All things considered, especially since these are PB, this is a good time to screw/laminate some void free plywood to increase mass/rigidity and finish to 'taste'.
