The model 21 I just finished up reconing the speaker.Was able to pickup up few cones on epay that I was able to cut to fit. I tried the salvage the original one but after gluing it all back together it lost it's structural integrity. Just didn't sound good. Got it playing in the consolette (reconed) as we speak (type). The chassis is working but haven't recapped the paper caps. At work I mixed up some paint to replicate the chassis color that gray/blue but it's very flat in sheen. So just have to prep the chassis for paint, paint it and recap and the chassis with be done.
The cabinet is a other story. Have to place a Mohawk order to get some finish for it.
