Thanks Ron...et.als...
Capacitors... somehow I knew you'd say that
Not a problem, I've got a lot sitting around... always looking for a cheat if I can get away with it.
On the plating... I've done this for a living for 4 decades (though semi-retired now) plated and electroformed for JPL, NASA, NRAO, etc. microwave plumbing, ink jet nozzles, high energy chemical lasers, etc. (hence the handle "auplater")
I do it myself, so the pricing is "advantaged"
The speaker is in pristine condition... no tears, pulp is in excellent condition, so other than some epoxy to re-glue the edges... not much work there. I'll try to give some "play by play" of the processing. May try a couple of different metals on the shields to see what looks best. Tin may end up the choice, as I'd like to keep it as original as possible.
