Celestion Ditton 66 Monitors
Completely Restored
You already know all about these, so no need for any long-winded essay.
These are offered on behalf of Dave Smith, owner of www.vintagegale.com - a long-standing vintage loudspeaker restorer.
If you’re looking for some 66 Monitors, it’s unlikely you’ll ever see a pair as nice as these. Dave has rebuilt these beauties, with care to retain as much as possible of the original.
Here are Dave’s notes for this listing:
“The patina of the Walnut finish is very nice indeed. Cabinets sanded down and marks filled, Danish Oiled and waxed. They look like a very nice condition original pair.
All drivers were tested and both Celestion HF2000 tweeters were replaced after being found out of spec, all other drivers are original.
The crossovers have been rebuilt using Mundorf-E Caps. They sound excellent with superb bass response as you would expect from these very large floor standers, coupled with bass radiators.
They are also supplied with a pair of heavy steel floor plates and spikes (3.5 kilos for each plate) which can be either free-standing or screwed onto the bottom of each speaker for isolation purposes. New Belling-Lee binding posts, new metal badges inside and out. All original parts have been retained to keep (see last picture).
Fronts resprayed and rear speckle re-finished. All drivers tested and HF2000 tweeters replaced using close match pair. Binding posts replaced with Belling-Lee quality posts. Crossovers have been tested throughout and capacitors replaced with Mundorf e-Caps. New metal badges inside and out (old plastic badges available).”
