Well, I think I'm wrong. The code I used was for speakers made from 1990-1997.Thanks!!
I guess I'm just too dense to understand how a serial number of 19884 deciphers to 1988 January 19th, based on the examples.
But it's time to stop beating this horse.

:~)
I tried working with the S/N charts but these just don't seem to match as they did for my Heresy 1's.
According to this, the speaker you've shown was the 4th to be made on January 19, 1988.Ummm...so nobody can help me understand how these numbers relate to the S/N number charts?
Ok
- well - as was said - just enjoy them. I thought I had a clue by the
copyright date on the tag, but then there's a later copyright date on
the terminal panel.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)

I'm considering purchasing some Klipsch kg-4 speakers from craiglist and was wondering how I might be sure they are authentic. The picture looks like the old light finish from the eighties rather than the black finish here on klipsch.com. Also, I'm concerned because of their age that they may have been repaired in the past, possibly with substandard parts.
What is a reasonable amount to pay for these speakers in the current market? Can the community recommend any tests or tricks to make sure they are legit and in good shape?
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!

1990
of course we will be waiting for Fini to work his magic on this one
Heresys aren't my type. I prefer models with rear ports.

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

Good night all...
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.

Why don't people use Shop-Vac's as a house vacuum?

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.

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

Correct me if I'm wrong, but train tracks already have terminals.This thread makes me want to have a couple of drinks, go to the CO where my phones come out of, uplug the line equiptment from both my telephone lines, hook up an amp and see what my cornwalls sound like through 4100 ft of 24 gauge.
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.
