krelboyne:
Pretty sure that they are blue anodized.

I'm looking for a spray color and spray technique to restore their original look. The diaphragms seem to be ok.

You may be able to produce a usable finish using layup dye that is available in spray form. Would expect that you would need a clear protective film to protect the delicate finish the dye would produce by it's self

Haven't tried this, but Duplicolor and others have translucent paints that mimic anodized surfaces:

I will have to try that . From first impression it looks like it might hold up better then the lay out dye. Did you notice this in the description . "This item is not for sale in Catalina Island " what odd obscure reference.  :o

J_Speegle:
Thought I would post a couple of pictures of the 69 pods. The arms (as well as the pods) and arm extensions are blue also. At this time I don't think the finish is anodizing but will see if I can locate an original (unless I threw them all out) to test





Will split the vacuum pod discussion from the heater box discussion since it covers 67-70
