Now that you say that, the Type A is exactly what I have in there now. I am not liking the way it sounds; can't get any serious bass, and the mids and highs are just so-so. The network was built by a reputable member of this Forum. Not sure of the motor-run capacitors, but he said he prefers them. For the mid cap it is a motor-run 3uF paralleled with a 10uF Sprague. I know, I know, I should contact him! Rick

For 78 Khorns with Crites tweeters...do I keep the Zener network? Need to build a basic AA from parts I have. Rick

One dollar! Each

Good to know, both points... Rick

I'd settle for hand-made; when can you start? Rick

They use pegs to attach.

Scored a mint pair but alas no grills. Rick

The KLF-30 is a 3-way, so that automatically gets my vote! Disclaimer: I have heard neither. Rick

Excellent, Dave. May stop for a visit on the way to Hope and Nashville (AR) in May. Rick

Yes, was just trying to clarify @USNRET's dilemma with different terminal cups on HII.

H1 also removable back 👍

Didn't all H1 have a terminal strip on the back? Some early HIIs did have the round cup.

Klipsch website indicates the kit is available, and I found a PDF with parts list and instructions. I wondered what's the deal with the terminal cup until I saw muel's post above. Price was not mentioned so I will make a phone call for that. http://support.klipschgroupinc.com/file.php?key=4JZUVTt-PqXuPlOwX46YXlXCMpUgyCeM&expires=1516838400&signature=5f6e5c24d19a0c42fdf5e73964d237b16d4ef6a5 Rick

You are right, ODS123; improper description on my part. I should clarify; they were taken out of the box but they had never been connected. Someone please give me a price for these thirty-year old, near NOS, dusty but otherwise very good shape, tested and working, 1986 HIIs with a TOUGH finish. That's all I'm asking....

Sorry fellas, a decent search does not reveal if the conversion kit is still available from Klipsch. I know, I know, you're going to tell me to call them. Rick

Sorry I just now saw your reply. PM me if you need more info on the stands. Rick

Exact same condition Walnut Oiled vs dull-black painted, textured, whatever you call it...

Sure, I agree, original has value. But if a speaker costs less when it comes off the line, then shouldn't it be noted and priced accordingly at time of sale?

And as you say, they are an excellent candidate for a nice veneer job.

Thanks for that. These speakers are otherwise NOS, and that's pretty cool! Rick

Does anyone else have a comment on the lack-luster finish of these models, and most significantly, does the reduced factory cost result in a reduced resell cost? Rick

More pics of the Cornwalls. And per what avguytx said, does the finish affect resell value?

The picture attached above are Cornwalls from another ad. The HIIs that I saw are definitely HII BB, 1986 model. Here is a pic of them, although they are very dusty.

What about resell value? Should it hold the cost down for resell vs, say a Walnut Oiled? Rick

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. I got to see up close a pair of 1986 HII BB, and am not at all impressed with the finish. It looks cheap, tacky, cheap. These speakers are NOS, so I know it is the original finish. There is also a pair of Cornwalls on CL, and a picture of those (attached) indicate the same finish. I am really quite startled at the low-grade appearance. Any thoughts? Rick
