How do I clean a sticky speaker


I just picked up a pair of Celestion SL600 speakers that are covered with a tacky black substance. One speaker is so sticky that dust and crud has stuck to it. I'm thinking that I want to strip off this gook and repait the aluminum cabinets. Lacquer sor of tatke of off but not easily. Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks much

Dear Sticky
I have a pair of sl600's, oritinal owner, same problem. I am considering veneering at this point. There is nothing I found that worked, and I started with mild soapy water, then a few over the counter things. Aluminum is a tricky substance to paint, and my guess is that over time, the nextel like finish started to have a reaction to the alum.
good luck.
