Drake MS-7 speaker just went for $192! It took me 2 E-Mails but finally got
an admission that the speaker has the Drake sticky paint on it. Someone is going to be disappointed. W4OP |

What is the significance of sticky vs nonsticky Drake paint. For a period of time, the paint Drake used on their 7 line that broke down after time and became a sticky mess. The only real alternative is to strip, prime, paint and bake the cabinet. I have seen some fixes for the sticky paint and they all look to be a half fix at best. You can also send the cabinets to Hartzell to get an original finish, but that solution os not cheap. Anyone paying almost $200 for an MS-7 that is described as near mint, certainly is not expecting to pay out another $75--$100 to get it made right. Dale W4OP |

Dale W4OP That's interesting information, thanks for posting it. I would have to think that an otherwise new MS-7 speaker that had been stripped and repainted would be worth considerably less to a collector because it was no longer original. |

I would have to think that an otherwise new MS-7 speaker that had been stripped and repainted would be worth considerably less to a collector because it was no longer original. I have repainted Drake 4 line cabinets using the same splatter finish technique that look identical to the original. You need an air brush with some modified nozzles. Unless you have seen the sticky paint, it is hard to imagine how disgusting it is- everthing that touches it, hair, dust, etc gets imbedded in the finish. The concern of most collectors is the front panel, but one would certainly want to know about the cabinet finish. And you're right Steve, in Martyn World it was "sticky mint". You just have to learn to translate. Dale |
