They are done. Finished up nicely.  It's a bit late, going to savor the first listen for tomorrow.  Here's a few pics in the work room. Will move to the main listening room tomorrow.  Login to view image

The woofers are not glued to the bezel rings from factory.
They just stick immensely when you try to take them apart after 30 years.

They look great, hope you enjoy your speakers.

Thanks Martin - well they are now! A small bead of the foam glue was used, oh well, will have to deal with that in about 20 years:) 

Very nice, how is the sound of them by the way?

more pic...

Thanks - finished them up late last evening. Need to move them into the listening room today and take them out for a test drive.  Will let you all know later this afternoon.  Going to hook them up to my vintage McIntosh MC30 mono block tube power amplifier pair in my main system.

Moved them into the main listening room - pics attached. I know, WAY too much stuff in there to fully enjoy the sound of anything properly.  This audio hobby is quite addicting.  I have them hooked up to my McIntosh mono blocks and they sound sweet.  Login to view image

Anyway, they really sound fantastic! Great mids and highs and rather efficient by comparison to some of my others.  I have listened to a few CDs - Larry Carlton, Keb Mo, Steely Dan, and they really sound nice.  Placement is crappy in front of my prized JBL Sovereigns for the test drive, so hard to tell on the true bass response, but it was nice and the woofers are pumping like they should.  

I want to thank the great members here - Sonavor, Soren, Dillen, and the others for the great advice to bring these back to life again.  

Thats some room you have there, amazing, I´ll use the pics to show my wife, when she argue about too much audio, I have a lot less than you 😁

On some earlier pics one can see the woodwork on the boxes, just beautiful. All in all very good job, I enjoyed following your thread.

Now, do me a favor, if you change the caps in the crossovers (you will have to, if not now, later), change in one speaker first, leave the other as is for comparing, and then come back here with a report about the test. Until then ENJOY.

Good job. The MS-150's look like new. The McIntosh tubes look great as well.  I haven't jumped into collecting those yet but have them on my radar.  I have too many other pieces I have to clear out first though.  I found the MS-150's to effortlessly pump out a lot of sound too.  As soon as I get a couple of things out of the way on my bench I will refurbish my MS-150.2 pair.

Not a week goes by that I don't copy a picture from somewhere and send it to the FS with a note that says, "See?  I'm not crazy."

Congratulations on your refurb.  Happy listening.
