Hello all,
I followed a thread in the garage sale section which linked to a pair of horns on the Raleigh Craigslist that were near my home. The ad listed them as 1977 models, oiled walnut, cane grills, good shape. Well... the oiled walnut part was right and they sounded ok for the test....
I was able to make a deal for them by trading my La Scalas, my birch Heresys, and some cash and still obtain them for less of an investment than his asking price. I think I did pretty well.... Anyway...
The cabinets are in pretty good shape but are REALLY dirty. The cane grills have seen better days. I didn't yet pull the bass driver covers, buth the mids and tweeter model numbers are K55V and K77 respectively.Both crossovers are Type L (or maybe a funky 1).
The cabinet SN's are a little strange (for a pair) - one reads 1614, the other 1B887. By my calculations and a search I'm thinking the first is a late 48-61 model. The second reads a 62-83 with the "B" indicating it's a 63. Both cabinets have the SN's stamped into the wood on the mid/tweet portion of the cabinets.
Strange.... but I'm pretty pumped to finally own some Klipschorns!
