First thing was to replace a bad woofer. Unfortunately I didn't understand speaker design at the time so there is a large difference in the quality of sound between the new one and old one, so I recommend that a matched set be installed (I think the new one is a Dayton).
I also had the electronics/crossover circuitry completely rebuilt with all new components.
The biggest issue is occasionally I would blow a fuse on my amp when shutting everything down. It took a while but I finally think I figured out why. I eventually found one of the steel protective screens has a dent in it and must be contacting the plastic film which holds the static charge. That is probably creating a short and causing the fuse to blow. I've tried to figure out a way to pull the dent but the grill is a heavy gauge and I can't get anything that will attach firmly to the grill to pull and that would avoid damaging the plastic. I figure the panel will need to be taken apart to repair. I have not tried to take the speakers apart or the panels.
Should be an interesting project for someone to finish. I don't think I'll ever get back to this so hopefully someone else will find it interesting.
Asking $125 obo (cash of course).
