I am sure the factory won't complain about you having removed the socks - and this, to me, is absolutely what you need to do to determine the full extent of the water damage.

Be aware though that it may not turn out that "the worst involves a little cleanup and soldering". Possibly, the glue has failed and the wiring has lifted off the mylar?

Please post some pics and a description of what you see, when you've done this - we may be able to provide some useful advice.

How far you want to go of course depends on:
* how much you love their sound (or what you remember of it! ;-)) ), and
* how deep your pockets are!

For instance, if the MDF/chipboard frames are ruined down the bottom because they absorbed water ... it would seem to me to be a good idea to have the original frames replaced by hardwood frames (rather than simply getting new MDF/chipboard frames). But that will cost more.
