Receive A package on 6 april , a new addition to my collections , BUT the speaker came all beat up as it arrived in a trash bag wrap only with bubble wraps. and the UK Ebay seller listed speakers as working condition and you can see the speakers don't have it's foam surround anymore.







Mess up Xover
 



                                                       
1. start by replacing foam surround , i did order 1 set of foam surround before starting to bid for the mission 707 speaker , but did not aspect to use it so soon.











2. repair damaged  area of  speaker cabinet , have to remove all the wood vinyl sticker.                  


the 1st cabinet is badly damaged. its being held together by black tape, i managed to fix-it by using wood glue and large f clamps to hold it in place overnight.







                 a big piece broken off , fix-it with wood glue and held in place with tape





3. Prepare the wood veneer (Teak)                                                                                    



Final light sanding











wax paper was place at all corner to prevent veneer from sticking



                                                 cut both strip at the same time , so it have a matching joint


                                           Remove wax paper , and press down the joint
