Far and away the best and most upscale mud kitchens in the history of mud kitchens.

This is the eBay ad that pulled up

That’s the beauty of this Maynard, when I saw the amateur ham radio post I thought for kicks I would search his call sign W6IYD which normally pulls up publications back then that has all of the call signs in alphabetical order by year and I could see what addresses he listed between the early 40s (you could get tested and licensed during the war but could not operate a ham radio until after VJ Day is was what he told me). So it pulled up several years worth of listings, the search also pulled up that card as a current eBay listing for $9.95. My dad sent that to a “Jack” in Minnesota in 1950 (with a 1 cent stamp) approximately 70 years ago and it ends up on eBay. Not only does it end up on eBay, it ends up being searchable. Travis

Now I know where “reading you 5 by 9” comes from. I have a amateur magazine of his that is devoted to converting the military Command brand receivers, so I know what that’s about now. Thanks

Not difficult W6IYD was my dad, he got his unlimited Class A in high school, I think he was 15. He got his 2nd class radio after he graduated from high school. He had those cards printed up which I guess was a big thing back in that day because there are 100s on eBay? I assuming the communication was by Morse code, not voice? These cards were exchanged to verify things like signal strength, the Transmitter power of signal being received?

This was my Dad’s call sign, he would have been a senior in high school at this time. Can someone explain what all of this means on this post card?

Welcome to the Forum. First, what receiver do you have and does it have a phono input? It seems like you are saying that you stripped the wires from the turntable to the receiver? I’m assuming that is a mistake, as the turntable outputs should be rca male jacks that need a phono input on your receiver. if your receiver doesn’t have a phono input that is your problem. Travis

That’s amazing! Great job.

Welcome to the Forum. You will need to post lots of photos, front, back and inside. The Historian of Klipsch is in this Forum and can answer your questions for certain.

You will want to post photos, and location

That would be on your dealer’s end. Where are you located?

That will save you, and me, from having to respond 3 years from now to ‘is this still for sale?” congratulations on your sale.

I would call, he usually answers right away.

Please edit your title of your first post to indicate sold.

You beat me to it. Lots of Forum members in and around thos parts.

Hey Joe, Thanks for all you are doing for Gil. Was sad to hear that the friend that was helping him out passed away suddenly. As far as I’m aware we have never excluded Speaker Lab (or Shinall) from garage sale section so a posting for these speakers would be fine, especially since you have listed them as Speakelab speakers. A few months ago someone listed “Klipschorns” in the title and then in the description it mentioned they were made by a master wood worker in Houston. In that case I edited the title to “Homemade” but let the ad stand. The only thing we don’t allow is people to sell new home built DIY Klipsch copies on here (“clones”). Travis

Sad story, but valiant effort

Sunburn Willy was scheduled for surgery today I believe. Anyone hear how that’s went?

This thread is locked to future replies, as it has become a spam magnet. If you have a similar question regarding headphone eq, ease post a new thread. thank you Moderator Team

I renamed this and moved it to its own thread.

He may be due for a raise after this: From Garage Dale Section by @Deang

Some have asked why the shift away from posts in this section about DIY horn speaker projects or modification of Klipsch speakers, the thread linked below pretty much covers the most common areas:

Placeholder for developing terms/conditions of Technical Question Please feel free to ask technical questions, post information, photos and anything else regarding how to restore your Klipsch speakers to original. How and where to get replacement drivers, where to get Klipsch tested and approved crossover networks, parts, grills, and even refinishing questions are all welcome. Please do not post threads about: 1. Your do it yourself horn speakers, whether copies of Klipsch products, or your own new design - there are plenty of other audio forums for building speakers; 2. Modifying your Klipsch speakers into something else, whether it be different drivers, crossover networks, parts, etc. This will be expanded and detailed more as time allows, this is the starting point.
