Snell Acoustic Type A - how to remove grill?

tg3 · 17th January 2009, 06:33 PM

My friend has a pair of Snell Acoustic Type A speakers. We would like to remove the front grills to inspect the mids and tweeters, but can't get the grill off.

Any help appreciated!

It was an interesting way to attach the grills. They are nailed (from the sides) through the wooden part of the frame where it butts up against the finished part of the upper cabinet. You have to carefully pry them away starting at the bottom and work your way up. The real pain is re-securing them.

Thanks, John. Glad we didn't pull too hard on the grills!
