After a long time I got the A7's painted and back together and they sound good. Well worth the all the work. After removing the front horn mounts I had gray paint to take to the paint store. Anyone know of plans for wings?

None I'm aware of, but the originals are simple enough. Each are cab height 3/4" plywood [no void preferred in HIFI/HT apps] and 10" wide framed with 2x2s with a single brace across the middle, though back then they really were 2x2s, so I recommend 2x3s. There were no triangulating braces like on the larger 210s because they were designed to be tied together with a pair of top baffles, so I recommend adding them plus using two cross braces.

what kind of results can I expect?
Orange A7's ? Did I miss something they look gray to me... Even the first photo the paint is gray...
The finished cabs look great ! Nice Job !
OK I should have put them with the thread from 2 years ago which would have made sense. Probably all that lead paint dust from sanding the cabs? anyway heres the link.

I remember those now ! :Light bulb:
Nice work in saving a piece of history! Did you spill a beer on them already? In the second picture it looks like there is a stain. Great work!!!
but how do they sound? do you plan on a smaller port? they look great! super smooth... what are you going to drive them with?
Nice work. :Thumbs up: That must have taken a lot of time and effort - great to see the results.
In the second pic that is a water stain from me wiping the top down after spilling an ashtray and not seeing that it ran down the side,looks better now. They sound very good. Was using a fisher tube integrated but it made a poping sound so now I'm using a couple of receivers to see what I like (a marantz 2238 and a pioneer 980). Looking to go with a class A SS amp or tubes in the future. Can believe how little power they need. Smaller port or wings seem to be the next step.
