  1. Thought I [post some pics of a strange hand made khorn like speaker I about to bring back to life.

    I plan on restoring the cab with new venear and grill ctoth.

    The orig drivers will be used Jensen rp gold super tweeter, Electrovoice sp8 and 15" red feild coil .

    If anyone what this 15" bass driver is let me know.

    The strange part is the front firing with rear corner horn loaded mid cab, anyone ever seen one lik this ?

    I cant wait to hear this mid sound, will make a cool mono rig.

    Btw klipsch used this same jensen super tweter in 1951 for a very short time ,just might be the best they ever used..

  2. Ok they are take up reels for vidio tape. I think tv stations stoped using !" open reel tape in the 70's

    I thought they were audio ampex reels which are still used,but they look diffrent to me.

    I was intersted when I thought they were for audio ,as I use 1" tape for recoding in my studio.

  3. 50's custom made khorn mono console note the cab is shaped like a khorn even with coller insert.

    I picked this up along with a unload 2nd matching cab. and early 50's khorn clone, but with higher quilty build/parts.

    this is my all time favorit console for a khorn as it was built for one along with a tube electronic crossover.

    The name on the face plate says audiofile custom I can't find any info on the net.

  4. oops I think your right looks like B is 63 .

    The chart I had saved from a few years ago had b as 62,

    but after a google search I found the charts have b as 63.

    Btw anyone have a pic of a pre 63 post 59 heresy logo.

    My 59 and 58 H's have a rectangle Aluminum with black paint logo.

  5. ok I put a asking price on the speakers to keep all happy.

    I will ship

    The serial numbers have the b in them which I think makes them 62.

    The tags are orig and the Same as my 62 cornwall.

    My 60 cornwall has the clear rectangle tag so maybe somtime in earlier 62 or 61 they change to the pie logo.

  6. I run a pair of 51 khorns in my main system in stock untoched formed.

    They sound real in totaly stock form with extended highs tight punhy bass and

    a midrange to die for..

    But Klipsch did use there best tweeter ever back then the Jensen rp302 gold super tweeter.

    Te orig large caps hold there values and still work to spec.

    I realy like the sound of the woodglass horn from

    the eraly days over the later cast and plastic horns.

  7. I happen to have a large collection of 50's and even 40's klipsch speakers in Orig condition.

    I might have a single or rare pair of mid 50,s khorns I could be talked out of.

    I have a 3 way klipsch system from 58 that came from klisch with one hersey(center) one short horn (lert ot right side)and one khorn all in matching mahonony. The orig klipsh lit shows this set up for early stero use,
