Eurasuan60,
The cabinets were in pretty rough shape. I could have fixed them but I ended up moving, took the cabinets apart for trash and sold the parts off to people who could use them to restore their VR-4's.
It probably would have been a good 20-30 hours of work to restore them the rest of the way.
I know it took me a long time to get back but if you care to share your experience with the Dayton Woofers, that would be really neat.
