@DizRotus, thank you for your phone call today. I think we are all in agreement these LaScalas are deserving of placement in the Museum. We will all do whatever is necessary to accomplish this task. Thank you to everyone that has offered input and monetary assistance to make this happen. There are times I feel “tested” by my involvement in the museum and then there are times that my heart explodes with pride. This is a case of feeling the pride. You guys are absolutely the best. Looking forward to the next update from @DizRotus

I’m thinking your estimate is a little high considering the condition.

@USNRET, we have transportation arranged at no charge to the museum. Thank you all for continued support of our efforts.

Thank you @Youthman I’m hoping the OP realizes the historical significance of these speakers, by donating them to the Museum. I have transportation arranged to the Museum in Hope, AR if the OP is willing to donate. Of course, a letter of donation would be provided. That being said, I’m in agreement with you. It would take a tremendous amount of work to restore these. Christy

I’m just not sure what the OP is wanting. A donation of LaScalas would of course be ideal. Beyond that we may have to request donations to fund the purchase. I am of the opinion that they belong in the Museum...hopefully the OP is of the same belief.

I have asked @JRH to take a look at this thread. Personally, as a Board of Trustee member and Secretary of the Executive Committee for the Klipsch Heritage Museum Association, I want these for the Museum. If the OP would be willing to donate these, the Museum could possibly arrange to pay shipping. I’m loving this. To the best of my knowledge we have no LaScalas in our Museum collection. OP, please advise????

Thank you!

Anybody recall the forum member that tracks pricing on used Klipsch Heritage speakers?

What a great loss for the music industry and our community. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.tmz.com/2017/10/25/fats-domino-dead-dies

I completely agree with this statement.

Technical and modifications would probably be a great section to post this project! Can’t wait to see your progress! Looks like all you folks from that area need to get together and attend the 2018 Pilgrimage to Hope, AR! Christy

Welcome!!

@Ceptorman...black. They will match our other forte iis, and the 402 horns. We did see the lighter colored grills but preferred the black for placement in our family room.

@Schu, these were a gift from @pappyIII, which makes them even more special. Elden and I both are overwhelmed.

Picked these beauties up in Hope, AR this weekend. A huge shout out to @pappyIII for his generosity. They are beautiful and we are just getting around to some listening.

No the mods do not catch everything. Unfortunately we all have this thing called life that demands our attention every now and then. That being said this type of language is not acceptable, ever under any conditions. In the future PM me or another mod immediately when something like this happens.

My cell is 601-799-8350. @jmcamp54 please text me. We are actually up here this weekend working. Would love to add you to my list of folks we can call on when we need help. Will be at the Museum today working.

Waiting to see yours!!!

Coming very soon!!!

@richieb, thank you for the pic of your PWK/Klipsch Museum of Audio History "Wall of Fame". Thank you again for your generosity and for displaying your pride in the Museum and PWK!

Will work on that...but we've got another little surprise we are going to be adding in after this weekend, so maybe next week I'll get dtel to take a full shot!!!
