  3. As far as the hissing sound- keep the amp on but shut off your source-CD, stream, MP3, whatever. If the sound disappears, it's your source device. Try it with all your sources to see if it's isolated to one or more sources. If the sound remains even after all your source devices are turned off, then it's your amp, receiver, etc. The reason you may hear the sound from the rear of the enclosure vs. the front is, the cavity of the enclosure acts like a horn itself, amplifying the sound. Since you don't hear it from the front, I don't see anything to worry about. As to the tweeters, you could disconnect the wires to the tweeter (pay attention which wire connected to which terminal so you can reconnect them properly) and put a voltmeter across the tweeter terminals. It should read roughly 8 ohms. If they read a very high number or no number at all, they're toast. You could then connect your voltmeter, set to AC volts, and attach the leads to the wires you disconnected from the tweeter. A pair of clip leads really helps here. Play some music and watch the voltmeter. It should bounce all over the place in response to the music. Watch the numbers and turn up the volume. The numbers should go up. Cool, right? It means the signal is getting to the tweeters.

  6. You've been a member since 2016 and this is your first post? You'd do well in the Marshmallow Test. I know where one KV-4 is. I hate shipping large cabinets. What is your location?

  8. Chill... One amazing song right here. So many are clueless... Nice read under the youtube post. Back in 1905 they were one of the best shows out there. Relax and let it ALL go! Their quad show in Cleveland @ Municipal Stadium was totally amazing. One the best rides I EVER took. 😂

    KV-4 WTB

    Looking for a center channel KV-4. I see one on ebay right now but would like to find one with known history.
  11. This afternoon my bourbon buddy was playing some tapes on his reel to reel down in the shop.
  12. I am aware of that. I was curious to know if some enterprising individual may have found an analogue. I do see Copper colored speakers (and parts) on Aliexpress. I'd even be curious to know if the copper color'd polypropylene/aluminum sheets are available. bob.
  13. Yesterday
  14. I have a pair of Khorns I inherited from my uncle. The serial # if very clear and is 36129 & 36121, with the modle # on a line above K B W R. This does not seem to match up with anything listed. I can confirm K 33 P woofers. I think the W R is for walnut raw as my uncle said he bought them unfinished and finished them himself. The serial #s come back as unidentified? help please, thanks, Allen. P. S. I have had them in my system all winter and they perform flawlessly.
  15. Hi! As the title says, looking for unblemished drivers for my RF-7 Series 1s. I am hoping the find 2 of them! Thanks, bob
  16. Another thought that I had, is whether or not it is feasible to "Transplant" a RF-7II or RF-7III driver from the "Round" basket to the "Square-ish" basket from a donor RF-7 10" driver? This would entail re-foaming the edge of the cone to the older basket. This isn't an ideal solution but perhaps could work. Another idea I have kicked around is create an adaptor ring that could be inserted into the RF-7 cavity and allow the RF-7II/III speaker to used as a drop-in replacement. Bob..
  17. there are no copper style recone kits on the market

  19. The Mystery Man came over An' he said: "I'm outa-sight!" He said, for a nominal service charge I could reach Nirvana t'nite If I was ready, willing 'n able To pay him his regular fee He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs And devote His Attention to me But I said Look here brother Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? Now what kind of a mask man are you anyway? Look here brother Don't you waste your time on me The Mystery Man got nervous An' he sorta, fidget around a bit He reached in the pocket of his Mystery Robe An' he whipped out a shaving kit Now, I thought it was a razor An' a can of foamin' goo But he told me right then when the top popped open There was nothin' his box won't do With the oil of Afro-dytee An' the dust of the Grand Wazoo He said "You might not believe this Pancho, but it'll fix up that war paint for you too" An' I said Look here brother (thank you mask man. thank you) Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? Ah, mask man is a ****** Look here brother Don't you waste your time on me I've got troubles of my own, I said An' you can't help me out So take your meditations an' your preparations An' ram it up yer snout "BUT I GOT A KRISTL BOL!", he said An' held it to his horse So I snatched it All away from him An' I showed him how to do it right of course I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head So I'd look like I was Deep I said some Mumbo Jumbos then An' told him he was goin' to sleep I robbed his rings An' pocket watch An' everything else I found I had that sucker hypnotized He couldn't even make a sound I proceeded to tell him his future then As long as he was hanging around I said "The price of pajamas has just gone up An' yer ol' swarmy have just gone down" Look here swarmy Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris? (Now is that a real poncho or is that a Seattle poncho who can tell anymore?) Don't you know You could make more money in sindication So don't you waste your time on me Ohm shonty, ohm shonty, ohm shonty-ohm
  20. Hi Everyone, Has anyone taken a look at re-coning the copper style speakers? I am guessing that the trick is to find the copper color'd material to generate a cone, in the first place. I bet there is a reasonable demand for this type of fix! I have some unblemished drivers on their way to me, to replace some on my RC-7. I may attempt to disassemble one of the blemished ones, to see what is needed. Ideally, I want to find at least two R-1089-AVs for the RF-7 (series 1s.) These are pretty hard to find. These would certainly be a candidate for a re-cone operation, if I could figure it out. Bob.
  21. I’m more of a Strat guy, but I totally get it. It was amazing.
  22. Hahahaha, No relation. I haven’t seen Grace or Hopper around town since last fall.
