Cleaning speakers

Good morning all,
New to the site. Just pulled out my old Bose 605 speakers ( I know not that great) and wanted to clean them up? What should I use on the speakers?
and are they worth much?

Thanks!

Can't recall if the 601's have a real wood case or if they are just a veneer. If they are real wood then I recommend a product called Howard's Restor-A-Finish and 0000 steel wool. A good wipe down with this product has saved me from having to restain dozens of speakers. If it is a vinyl veneer that a damp cloth will be sufficient. If it is a wood venner and in good shap regular furniture polish should work well.

Thanks Kid!
What about the tweeters and midrange and woofer???
Just don't want to damage.

You listed your speakers as Bose 605's but like thekid I assume you meant 601's. The speaker has two 8 inch woofers and 4 3 inch speaker per enclosure. The drivers are all paper cones so I would not use any liquid to clean. I would suggest dusting them with something soft like a clean Swiffer Duster. I would not spray any dusting product on the Swiffer.

The first 2 series of 601's did use a real wood veneer. If the finish is even without stains or bleached areas I would very lightly wipe the veneer with a lemon oil product for furniture.
