My house was built by the three stoges in 1921, but beats what I saw in the picture. (Marx Brothers were the architects.) Block walls are fine (as I said, mine was built in 1921) but you need a pilaster at these load points and a proper footing to support the load. This sure doesn't look up to code, so your inspector needs to nip this in the bud before you have a house on top of it. Didn't they have to file plans with the building inspector and have them approved?

Is there any consensus from forum participants about the new Cornwall type-B crossovers offered by Bob Crites on ebay? As mentioned before, my late-model Cornwall I's have the B-3 crossover. Also, thanks everyone for the comments on the original thread. I think I'm going to pass on the solid silver wire for the speaker connections and apparently my later model midrange horn doesn't need damping but the woofer brace seems like an easy and useful mod, along with perhaps the felt sealing gasket for the rear hatch. I might do the crossovers, too. Any opinions on the following from the aspect of negative impact on sound quality? -Eliminate grill cloth system -veneer the front plate (no kids to poke fingers in drivers) -1" riser -front to back tensile brace to preload the front and back plates (maybe two of them) Thanks again for all the helpful replies.

Certainly. Here's what's inside the box: K-77-M Tweeters K-57-K Midrange drivers, plastic horns K-33-B Woofers B-3 Crossovers Cabinets are in excellent mechanical condition and have the hatch in the rear.

I'm new to the forums, and would like to review suggested Cornwall modification hints. The oft-referred-to thread "Cornwall Mods Glossary" is nowhere to be found. Even a search on "glossary" yields only a few threads where people have referred to this thread, not the thread itself. The search routine is also a bit random, and repeated searches on the same keywords seems to yield different results almost every time. Can anyone post a link to the actual thread? Background: I recently picked up a pair of what were probably among the last Cornwall I-series made, produced the week before Christmas in 1984. I'm replacing a diaphragm in one midrange driver, but other than some veneer wear, the speakers are in excellent condition. I would like to welcome the speakers to a new millenium with some modifications that will offer improvements that a deaf old geezer can hear, but that will not make them look like the south end of a northbound DeLorean time machine.
