Michael ---------------- wendellfabrics.com go to mellotone, click on fabrics, go to standard and look at MD4134

Ralph at dura crest said it has something to do with the environment. i have 7 yds arriving from wendell hopefully this week. its not cane but it is very close.

eat at skyline once a week at the same location for over 25 years. montgomery inn twice a month. i usually go for the UDF ice cream. thats United Dairy Farmers here in Norwood. the owner of UDF owns the REDS baseball team. Oprah says Graeters is the best.

i have a copy, highly recommend it

I have read where you can remove the fasteners and lift the top section off of locating dowels. Is this correct? Is this the safest? Or should the cabinet be left as one and just lift the bass bin leaving the top section intact. All ideas appreciated. ---------------- the tops of the k-horn come off this way but the belle does not. cabinet will be in one piece. i moved mine around with a 2 wheeler when i didn't have help

email the seller and tell him you want to give him the 400. won't hurt to ask. did you notice it says a pair of speakers

is that a motor board or a grill. i just took the motor board out of my 74 verticals so i know what you are talking about.

Ralph will send it to you and you have 30 days to pay for it. $17.95 a yd up to 6 yds and 15.00 for 7 or more yds. don't know how much for shipping because he hasn't sent me an invoice yet. he doesn't have a website but he is close to chicago. said they supplied klipsch for 20 plus years. 708-344-4900 ---------------- got my invoice today from dura crest. 7 yds X 15.00 = 105 and 10.00 for shipping comes to 115.00 what a deal!!!!

i bought a new hot glue gun and extra glue tubes and a can of 3M77 super adhesive. the glue gun is going back to the store. this 3M77 is the best stuff i have ever used. 9.00 dollas a can.

Gorilla glue works good

i have 84 k-horns and one wing nut on each side. should lift right off. the other wing nut is for the side grills

One 4'x 8' sheet will do 3 grilles easily ---------------- if my math is correct, you should get 5 grills from a 4 x 8 sheet for the cornwall

You're a loose cannon. Yes, we have come to the point in this country where you can not trade on someone else's good name. Get used to it. ---------------- do we have a ebay number on this, i would like to see this EDIT. found it.

the top section of the k-horns come off to make it easier to handle. 4 wing nuts and they lift right off. a 2 wheel dolly would make the job easier but i have moved these by myself in a pick-up truck or a van. hope you score these. good luck

However, the more I think about it, the easier it sounds. From what I've read, getting the old motorboard out and putting a new one in is easy! Another thing... It's not like I couldn't change my mind later and still do that. For the time being though, I think I'll at least get the veneering part done...and then make the decision on the conversion. Either way, the grill will still fit. ---- Mitch, if you make new motorboards in the vertical position, then the grills will have to match the motorboard in the vertical position.

make sure you check out the 3/16 masonite. there is another thread on here where a member thought the 1/8 is a little on the thin side. i just ordered 7 yds of #17 black grill cloth from Ralph at dura crest and i am awaiting delivery. i am going to make new grills for my verticals. have you thought about making your corns into verticals. i have my motorboard out of my 74 verticals and i plan on making new motor boards to see how they will turn out.

Are they the "newest" version compared with today or do they have any "more desired" over older models??? I had read somewhere that 1963 to 1983 Khorns are nearly identical but 84 started some newer stuff...does it even make a difference??? Thanks for any input or help, Bill ---------------- i have 84 K-horns with this crossover AK 2

Richard, first thing i did when i bought my belles was to get some glass tops cut for them. keeps them in mint condition for around 50 bucks
