Thanks to https://www.pcbway.com for sponsoring this video.
I found this weird Swedish cube at my local Op-Shop (thrift store) and decided to bring it home to see if it could be repaired, and if it sounds any good.
It's a vintage speaker from the company Sonab, and it's designed by Stig Carlsson. Manufactured from 1974-1978.
The speaker driver inside has suffered badly with foam rot, so we remove and repair the foam surrounds on the cone. We also give the timber veneer on the exterior a little attention before reassembly and seeing how they sound. It’s not quite a complete restoration, but they look and sound a lot better than when we started.
I put the finished product up against my current favourite speakers, Bang & Olufsen Beovox S45-II, and we see how the little Sonabs fare. The results may shock you!
