If the molding around the tops isn't held on by nails you could just cut them off by running the tops through a table saw.

Great idea ...but I don't have a table saw...yet...

No nails in the top trim, just glue.

It's a moot point anyway, because I've heard through the grapevine that Santa Claus is making a rare summer delivery, bringing some freshly cut tops my way. I told Santa that I didn't deserve it, that I haven't been as good a boy as I could have been this year, but he wouldn't listen.

Anyway, speaking of trim, that brings to mind an upcoming issue. It looks like I will have to use nails to hold the bottom trim in place; I don't see any other way of doing it. It will go directly over the bottom edge of speaker grille cloth. I suppose I can use some filler over the nail holes and reapply Heywood-Wakefield stain and finish over the filler when done. It should be OK. I do not know how the originals were put in place because the original bottom trim was long gone before I acquired these speakers.

I do have access to some photos of a set of Bozak E-300s on the auction site; it was that seller who kindly furnished all of the measurements for the risers. I'll study those photos and see if I can tell...
