Well, I think I'm wrong. The code I used was for speakers made from 1990-1997.

According to this, the speaker you've shown was the 4th to be made on January 19, 1988. DATES DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE 1990-1997 DOYY2Y1#### 135791234 1. DOY = day of the year (e.g. 135 = 14 May) 2. Y2Y1 = 2nd digit of year, 1st digit of year (e.g. 79 =1997)

All valid concerns. If you study the specs here, you'll see they came in walnut, oak and black. Familiarize yourself with the dimensions, component types, etc. so you can see if the one you're looking at matches the specifications. As for value, search eBay completed items, and do a search here in the Garage Sale forum. KG-4s are very common, and the prices are variable, of course depending on condition, location, etc. Be sure to check that all drivers are operational (place your ear close to each while playing music, but don't turn it up too high!). Also you want to notice the condition of the foam surrounds. BTW, the "woofer" on the pack is a passive radiator. Hope this helps. KG-4s were my first Klipsch speakers, and I loved 'em!

Heresys aren't my type. I prefer models with rear ports.

Wait a minute guys...That was my caption!

Whoever loses, give me a heads up so I can book a room for Mrs. fini at Motel 6, and get a waterproof mattress pad.

Ha! Enjoy your open-mouthed couch sleeping! Been there, done that... Speaking of Chuck and ribeye steaks[], I just was made aware of chuck eye steaks. My butcher tells me they're from the rear of the chuck (not YOUR butt, Chuck. Besides, the "butt" is the shoulder), right next to the rib-eye! They're sort-of a butcher's secret, because they're "almost" a rib-eye, for a chuck price! You only get about two good steaks per chuck. I tried them the other night, and they were good! Not as "rich" as a good rib-eye, though.

Wow, I was quite a boob back then. Still, it's fun strolling down mammary lane. USNRET, sorry, no experience here with your finds.

Let us know your favorite cut.

Sorry to hear this. Your first move should be to call Klipsch customer service at 1-800-KLIPSCH. In addition, there is a headphone-specific sub-forum here: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/81.aspx Good luck!

What model Pioneer, and what cartridge on the turntable? I guess there's a chance you have a moving coil cartridge and are plugging it into a moving magnet input.

The vibration control is a pretty cool feat.

Too late...already been there!

Ben, I saw the post, but not the console! Is there a picture of it? There's a restaurant out in the sticks by Hope called The Goat Roper that's used a lot of plywood scraps from the Klipsch factory for panelling! Hmmm...I wonder if they have any Ramblin' Rose??

I usually wear khakis and a sweater vest when I go to the mall. There, you've been warned.

Alex, just a heads up: You don't have to worry about me. I make sure all my posts are family-friendly. At least one interpretation, anyway.

One step closer to baseball season...[6] Congrats, Keith!

Shouldn't you be using "rectifier" tubes? Touché! I know I just had a 6X4 around here somewhere...

I live near some railroad tracks. I wonder how the speakers would sound if I use the tracks as wires. As Coytee hilariously implied, termination will be a byitch. Besides, as everybody knows, railroad rails only sound good late at night when the whistle blows. Correct me if I'm wrong, but train tracks already have terminals.

Always trying to make lemonade out of lemons (and save some dough), I've begun using weak tubes as thermometers. I haven't gone any larger than 6BQ5s.

Ben, I've come up with a couple myself: fini's Law of Screwdrivers: If you need a Philips drive, all you can find are flat-blade screwdrivers. And vise-versa. fini's Law of Gasses: If you wander to the most remote part of a store to fart, someone will join you within 15 seconds.

Have a wonderful day, Dee! You're a great friend!

Mike, Josh Nichols has an older Tandberg that's styled a lot like the Thorens 124. I don't know the model number, but it's a sweet deck. Similar to this one. Then, to add to the ensemble, you need to purchase an 8mm Bolex projector. You'll be stylin' (even more than you are currently)!!:
