Is it oil based or water? Can you sand it to the point that veneer will adhere using heatlock glue or contact cement? If you've veneered the bottom bin around the doghouse roof please describe how you did it? Looks like you would cut the floor pieces first so any small gap would be at bottom of angled top of doghouse? Attach the interior sides that should be fairly easy. THen small strip on the jut out when doghouse top meets with the walls???

$650 pickup to forum members. Will ship if you pay the packing, shipping and supplies cost. These are 1981 consecutive number Heresys (114 W708 and 709) that I rehabbed. I got these puppies finished (now working on another Heresy redo in the same veneer (Mottled Eucalyptus). Serial number 114 W708 and 709. K22R woofers cast K700 mid horns, K55 drivers and K77 square magnet tweeter with Type E crossovers with slightly used Sonicap capacitors installed (got them from Wuzzers) Here is the link to the tech mod post on these earlier for reference. I installed front to back mid braces and reinforced all joints with screws before veneering. 6 coats of wipe on poly then wet sand with 500 grit then paste wax applied with 0000 steel wool. . Original Klipsch grill frame with neo magnets installed under veneer. I installed front to back mid brace. Selling for $650 to Klipsch members (plus shipping cost) or can pickup in LIttle Rock. Will upload more pics. Thanks. Longdrive03. .

REDOING 1981 HERESYS IN MOTTLED EUCALYPTUS VENEER
longdrive03 replied to longdrive03's topic in Technical/Restorations
Thank I’ll consider those. longdrive03 -
First off, I recognize these are NOT "Heresys". I documented the build from scratch in the tech mod section shown here in the link below so I won't repost here. Price is $1,000.00 for for members plus shipping. Shipping won't be cheap because these are big and heavy. They sound great. Very open and not harsh. 3/4" materials all the way around and ported using the Eminence PRO 12 LFA which is a monster woofer. Post questions or PM me. Thanks. Longdrive03

Moray, Never thought of doing that. Interesting idea. Has anyone ever tried this to see any difference from traditional alignment???? Got these finished and will post in the Garage Sale section. Got another regular Heresy rehab going now with mottled eucalyptus veneer.

GOT THIS PAIR OF CONSECUTIVE SN H'S A FEW WEEKS AGO. ORGINALLY RAW BIRCH PLY SERIAL NUMBERS 114W708 AND 709 WITH K22R WOOFERS, K55V DRIVERS, K77M TWEETERS AND TYPE 3 CROSSOVERS WITH LATER BLACK POLY/MYLAR? CAPS (WHICH I WILL REPLACE WITH SONICAPS). I shot new screws into all joints, filled recessed screw holes with filler, installed front to back and side to side bracing, cut off the front edges flush, installed neo magnets on front, veneered front with mottled eucalyptus, installed new front edges veneered with mottled eucalyptus then applied veneer on sides and top on one cabinet so far. Have 4 coats of wipe on poly of first cabinet. I think the bracing will help keep the back panel vibration down. also plan to install more screws on the back panel. White Klipsch label still on the backs which I am not changing. Will post pics when I get my laptop working properly. Longdrive03

I was going to use this in a center channel for a friend but went a different route. Glad it worked out. Ken

Proudpapa, Believe it or not I have one! You're just needing the horn correct? Horn measures 5 7/8" x 3 1/2" . See pics below. This is my last one. Have some 6 x 6 and 7 x 10 and some K-85 horns also. $15.00 shipped ( in US) PM me if you need more info. Thanks. Longdrive

Thanks for the compliments guys! Ended up just replacing the 2uf caps on the Type E network with Sonicaps. Applied rope caulk on back of all speakers, installed convoluted foam in cabinets and finished grill frames. Really like the Eminence 12LFA woofer. It is stout and clear. EV tweeter driver is on a KPT-1201 Tweeter horn which has 100 x 100 degree dispersion and it sounds more open and less harsh than the K77 tweeter probably because of the tractrix flair.
