Companies that repair/refinish speaker cabinets?


Greeting all,

    Alas, my newly purchased Acoustic Zen Adagios arrived having taken some damage to the finish and cabinet.  I am tasked with finding someone who does these kinds of repairs -for insurance purpose I need a written estimate- but find this is well outside of my knowledge 'wheelhouse'.  Anyone have a lead on these sorts of folks or companies?

Thanks

Private party sale... but I'm starting to realize I'm likely getting screwed in most potential scenarios.
Well, definitely not 'any' as I've quickly found out.  If it were going to be super easy, done-by-any-local work, I would not be reaching out here.
Price isn't really the issue, I need a quote for insurance.  I'm not sure I will actually have them refinished but recompense is due for loss of value.

I'm pretty sure Bondo and automotive spray paint isn't the solution for a high gloss, maple burl veneer, but if they'll provide me with a rational quote, I'm not picky...

@dave1980 Thanks,  I will do just that on Monday.

@fsonicsmith Yeah, I broke one of my few 'rules' when I bought these speakers...  never have speakers shipped or ship them.  I've driven many hours to grab speakers over the years and always look to resell at a price that will lure someone into doing the same.

Fortunately, the damage is to the top-rear corner of the speaker.  It doesn't bother me -nor can I see it except upon examination- but I've traded, bought and sold for years, it will be a point of contention price-wise if and when I go to sell.
Mission accomplished!

@bryhifi  Your suggestion for Shoenbauer worked out, easy to deal with and, after emailing and calling at least 18 different companies, they actually responded quickly and professionally.
