I couldn't resist. Looked at the auction for about four hours and just lost self-control. Emailed him last night and he is sending pics. Said he would go by his office today after church and get pics and serial numbers. Said he has owned them since new. I decided to take a chance. He has perfect feedback and goes to church I live in SC but I am going to have my nephew (who works for Fedex) pick them up and ship to me. I will keep all informed. I am an avid reader of the forum but have only had one posting back in April when I found my set of 69 vertical Cornwalls and the folks here helped me identify them. This is a great forum. If something fall through on my pickup arrangement I will offer them back here first. Thanks.

I haven't made up my mind what I am going to do with them yet. I will certainly post them here first if I decide to sell since everyone has been so helpful. Thanks

Thanks for all the info. It was very informative. My wife thinks they are "junk" and was wondering why I was cluttering up the garage with them. I will show her your response.

Thanks for the help. I haven't made my mind up yet. I will keep everyone updated.

I saw an ad last week in a small paper that said "For Sale: Pair of Cornwall Clips....$50 each". I drove about 20 miles to see them. They were hanging on the fella's garage wall. He said he bought them out of a bar several years ago. Said they were about 30 years old. One had several coats of paint on it and the other had been partially stripped to be refinished. The gentleman said he had replaced one of the woofers, but had the original one still in a box (needs recone). Which he gave me too. The serial numbers are 1H753 and 1H754. The Model Number is CHR15. The tweeter is K77 and the midrange horn is K-55-V. The woofer is K-33-P with a square magnet. The crossover is type "B?". Can't see it that well. The grilles appear to be original (cane?) but one needs replacing and both are dirty. The cabinets (other than needing refinishing aren't bad). All of the "damping" material appears to be intact. There is a label on the back of both speakers indicating that indicates "two" UP directions. Seems as though they can be placed on their "side" or "end". I am not an audio enthusiast but they sound great. My only other Klipsch experience is a pair of Tangent 50's that I gave $40 for the pair. What should I do with these? Leave "as-is", refinish, part out or "restore"? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please take it easy on me as I am new to this forum.
