Hey Guys,
I'm the owner of these 62's. Bill is a great friend and tech and he spent most of the day with me today trucking out to Brooklyn, carrying them down two NARROW flights of stairs and then into my house. He even bought my Cornwalls so I could afford to get these.
They truly look nearly brand-new. Just beautiful. We managed not to damage anything.
They are type C- no riser.I can't even find a nick in the Ribbon Mohagany anywhere. The story is that they belonged to a Doctor in CT and were in the same place in his house since 1962. The Guy I bought them from got them not too long ago from the estate but couldn't get them to work in his room (I agree, it was just too small)
I've got them in a 22 x 25 foot room with high ceilings and nice corners. I have baseboard heat so I'm going to have to get some rubber or foam to seal the tailboards.
I would like to update the x-overs but not butcher anything. So maybe a cap replacement or can I swap out the whole crossover for a type A or something? That way I could always replace the originals if I ever sell (fat chance!).
Anyway, to say I'm happy would be an understatement!
