Restored to Greatness
Back in January I showed you the Brociner Klipschorn, in dire need of TLC. Now restored to former glory, this Klipsch classic c. 1947 is proudly on display in our engineering lobby. I even jumped a little this morning when I walked by and heard sound coming from it. It actually crossed my mind that it could be haunted by the ghost of Khorns past.
Ok, so I hadn't had my coffee yet.
About this Khorn: Serial number 18. This is one of the 7 units built after the 12 Baldwin units, but before Paul had his own factory. It was built at Reed’s cabinet shop prior to acquiring the Proving Grounds building (currently the Museum, originally the first factory). It was shipped to Victor Brociner, as was serial #20, also in the Museum. Brociner added the crossover network and the cloth covering, and on #20 he added a major amount of “facade cabinetry” to make it look like a liquor cabinet..
