Gale 401a restoration

[Terry]

Well done on winning the auction and welcome to the forum! Reading back through this thread should help you with the your project. Also, take a look here... http://0339436.netsolhost.com/WordPress/gs401-speaker/

Your first Gales with those serial numbers in the low hundreds are clearly very early. I haven't come across any mention of a "black" crossover but am aware of a 'Carmichael' (US built) version which is brown. There was quite a bit of swapping and changing with the earlier models - different pots, cloths, finishes, fixings etc.

Enjoy.

My crossover first Gales is not a 'Carmichael' (US built)
The crossover is a normal one. (see picture)

The cap have been already changed but I want to rebuild whith very good capacitors (Mundorf Evo)

I just receive my second pair for refurbished and sale after.
All the foam are destroyed
The acustic clothes are the original one and in very good condition, maybe I'll keet it for mine !!!!
