I'm feeling better already; thanks Howard!

Uh, you're the only one complaining. If you don't have anything nice to say about people try not saying anything at all.
-
OH NO! I've created a monster; Somebody please kill this thread before he shows up on Monday Night Football. Could he be the next Howard Cosell? I'm getting a headache already.

Budman,
Could you give me some deminsions for the three attachment pieces? They look pentagonal shaped to me.

Your so good with the vernacular, I'm impressed.
thanks for the compliment, but I don't know nothin' 'bout no doctorin' ner medicatin'.
Flattery will get you nowhere!
....ner common courtesy, ner manners, ner respect for others; you've never met; Reminds me of the parent sitting in the stands that used to yell at the umpire when their kid struck out.
Flatulence will get you noticed!

The rear ports are cut flush. I'm guessing there was a trianular extension extending out of the port at one time from a picture I saw but it wasn't clear.

Well I'm not from West VA so I appreciate your making that point known to all. You obviously must know Les Miles very well too and I appreciate you informing us of that fact as well. Oh and by the way, with all of the intricate knowledge of the game of football you appear to have I think you missed your calling in life. [D]

I've discovered that the 77 Khorns I purchased are missing the "tail boards" not sure of the proper term, on the back of the base bin cabinets. In other words the piece behind the rear ports are not there. I discovered this after seeing a picture of a pair listed on ebay. What I need are the deminsions and attachment method to the base bin. I have a feeling that the tailboards may have been sawed off at on time. Anyway another forum member told me that these were critical for proper performance of the horn. If someone could send me any detailed pictures and measurements I would really appreciate the help. [D]

Down here in the south there's two kinds of dumplings. If you like the puffy ones, nothing works better than bisquick. Just mix up the biscuit recipe and drop by the spoonfulls into the chicken broth just before you're ready two serve; let them simmer a few minutes til done and enjoy. If you like the flat kind you can either roll out the biscuit dough flat or just buy Mary B's dumplings at the grocery. Same results.

If you haven't seen this article you should take time to read it. It is from Charleston, SC so this guy didn't have to write this, he wanted to.
GW***********************************************************************LSU, the team you want your team to be
By Ken Burger <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />The Post and Courier
Monday, October 8, 2007
Every now and then you get a glimpse of how this game of college football is supposed to be played. If you watched the Florida-LSU game late Saturday night, you saw the team you want your team to be.
LSU, now the undisputed top team in the land after Southern Cal fell to Stanford, showed a stadium stuffed with more than 90,000 rabid Bayou Bengals fans and a national television audience why the Tigers are so good.
Yes, they have excellent players. And, yes, they have tradition and fan support and all the amenities needed to rise above the crowded field of contenders whose fans like to run around thrusting their index finger in the air and claiming to be Number One.
But they also have Les Miles, perhaps the best football coach in the country. At least he was Saturday night.
All you had to see was the fourth quarter of this Southeastern Conference showdown against the former national champion Gators to see what good, tough, confident coaching means to a football program.
It was, in a compound sentence, one of the best performances you could hope for in one of the biggest games of the year under the most intense pressure you can imagine.
And the Tigers made it look easy.Beauty and bravery
While LSU fans were stunned when Florida jumped out to an early 10-0 lead, Miles just clinched that strong jaw of his on the sideline, pulled his hat down tighter on his head and watched with an understanding determination.
When interviewed coming off the field at halftime, he hardly seemed frightened by the prospects of losing. Instead, he stated exactly what his team needed to do and would do in the second half. Make more tackles and score more points.
He didn't mention take more chances, but that apparently comes with the territory if you want to be Number One.
Down 10 points with the clock running against them, the Tigers pulled out all the stops. They faked a field goal that set up a touchdown. Then, needing only a field goal to tie and extend the game to overtime, Miles wanted no part of it. He went for the victory, going for it on two critical,
fourth-quarter, fourth-down situations, making it every time, barely.
The final drive, behind the gutsy running of Jacob Hester, that gave LSU its 28-24 victory with just over a minute remaining in the game was a thing of absolutely beauty and bravery.
Not only did starting quarterback Matt Flynn move his team with confidence, but also Miles was bold enough to bring in his back-up quarterback, sophomore Ryan Perilloux, in critical situations to give him the kind of steely experience you can only receive in the heat of battle.
Guts and glory
To watch LSU pull off that final, 15-play, 60-yard, 8-minute, game-winning, risk-taking drive brought college football fans to the edge of their seats all across the nation.
To witness this excellent example of guts and glory after most fans had spent the day watching their favorite teams flounder in the face of adversity was a teaching moment.
If you weren't an LSU fan or a Les Miles fan before Saturday night's phenomenal finish you probably are now.
With all due respect to the Florida Gators, who played a heck of a football game, this LSU victory gave us all a glimpse of what it means to have a great team and a great coach and how the two combine to win championships.
There was no second-guessing, no what-ifs, no question, no doubt. That final drive should be mandatory in film rooms across the nation.
Every head coach should watch it over and over again just to see how the game is supposed to be played, with confidence and passion instead of caution and fear of losing.

I'll fill in for Marshall. Weather Underground's Dr Jeff Master's comments are as follows from this afternoon:
A low pressure system over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico (90L) has changed little today. The buoy 262 nm south of Panama City, FL had winds of 36 mph gusting to 45 mph this morning, but these winds have fallen some this afternoon. Satellite loops show some disorganized heavy thunderstorm activity that is not increasing in intensity. This system has the potential to become a subtropical depression by Wednesday, and a Hurricane Hunter aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system Wednesday afternoon. This afternoon's model runs continue to point to a landfall Thursday or Friday in Louisiana or Texas. I don't see this storm becoming a hurricane, due to the large amount of dry air to overcome, plus the extended amount of time it will take to transition from a subtropical to a tropical storm. The GFDL model probably has the right idea, bringing 90L ashore in Texas Friday with top winds near 40-45 mph.
Go to: www.wunderground.com Check on the tropical weather.
Most likely going to create a mud hole down in the Tiger's den this Saturday. Geaux Tigers!

A cheap experiment would be to buy a HK 430, 630 or 730. Close to the tube sound without the tube expense. See if that helps. [D]

Sounds like you have a Heresy II cabinet. The horns have eight screws and mount from the front. The backs are not removeable. Also there is a cresent cut in the bottom of the H-II horn to fit around the woofer.

that would be DBflash

Let's see; I think it will fly, no I know it will fly! [D]

Now that the instructions are out, someone should turn these:

into these!

I agree, nice work. I think you're dead on using the contact cement over the heat set. I've tried both and I just think adding heat to the thin veneer causes it to shrink and split, especially if it's not backed. Also from my experience you did the right thing by letting the speakers set before applying any stain or finish. I think that's where I went wrong. Patience, patience pays off. Walk away from the project and let them cure. Next project I'll try that technique. Again nice work, you'll want to pass those down. [D]

Mike,
If you're going to have them veneered or do it yourself I would say that 150 grit is plenty smooth. If you're planning on staing the birch, be very careful not to sand through the outer layer of veneer or you've got trouble. There are plenty of good threads on veneering in the archives that can give you some help. [D]

I still think I've seen these pics before but given the fact that they will take cash eases all my pains. I'm off on a backpacking and flyfishing trip to CO and am sitting at my sister's house in NM getting ready to leave. If I was going to be around this weekend I might go the distance but guess I'll sit this one out. Somebody might get a nice deal here. Oh well there's always next time.

Well I got this reply back from my last inquiry.
"Yes, I will gladly accept cash on pickup instead of paypal. Have a wonderful day!"
Now What?
-
Still no reply this morning from the seller. I sent one more request to pay on pickup, either cash or MO. The biddings up and I'm thinking somebody is fixin to get "creamed"

Not to add fuel to the fire guys (and girls), but if you notice on the Payment details section you'll see this.
Seller's payment instructionsThank you for your purchase and prompt payment. This ensures your item will be sent out immediately. Thank you! ~smokinhotstylesWho the heck is "somokinhotstyles"? certainly not the seller listed in the auction. Suppose the scammer misssed a detail that showed his hand? Hmmm?Think it's time to send Ebay a message.... -
Are these the decorator models, the ones with no grills, if so probably a little more. Don't forget that you'll want to spend a little to freshen up the capacitors as they lose their zing over the years. After that you'll have what are essentially new heresys. Good luck on your purchase.
College Football!!!!
