Bose 901 Series III

 

I started with a pair of 901 III that were intact but tired.
The drivers all needed new foam.

 

I removed all the drivers and cleaned all the old foam off.
This left a nice clean surface for the new cloth edging.

  

I went with the newer "V-Roll" cloth surround.
A trial fit before glueing.

 

I first glued the surround to the underside of the cone.
After letting that dry, I glued the outside edge to the frame.

  

The cabinets needed some attention too.
So some hand sanding and a few coats of DEFT wood finish.

 

Here is a before and after. The flash gives them a red tint.
The picture on the right shows their natural walnut color.
