4/9/81 shipped to Harvey Group.

I am not aware of any production quantity records of these, nor PWK being heavily involved in the run. Sorry.
-
Not aware of such. Could possibly be a counterfeit.

397 and 398 shipped 23 Aug 1962. The logbook does not indicate destination. It appears that the drivers are original, or at least "as shipped". The logbook reflects a change in nomenclature from SP12B to K-22 in October of 1960. Likely the same driver with the addition of a Klipsch label. The component price lists also begin to refer to "K-22" in 1960. When the Heresy came out in late 1957, the K-ortho-12 compliment of drivers was in place for some Shorthorns. These were likely brought into Heresy service initially.

35R847 shipped 2/17/77 to Audio International in Germany. The woofer is an "unauthorized" replacement, and the tweeter is a newer "authorized" replacement.

Grandfather's 1966 Klipschorn Information Needed Please
JRH replied to Malia's topic in Ask the Historian
Sorry, but that logbook has been AWOL for years. I have never seen one with two HF's. The HF cabinets may not be stock. Do they both contain the same components? -
MEL stands for Macassar Ebony Lacquer.
-
Serial numbers are too new. Record keeping went south with the advent of computers!
-
These are 2 of 4 shipped to Spain on 5/20/80. They must have never seen "professional" use, as they look to be pristine!
-
Virtually all LaScalas prior to the current version are birch plywood. Some were stained.
-
The Archives has not yet revealed a lot on Klipsch kits. The Rebel series was the first to involve kits. Attached is possibly the first magazine ad for a Shorthorn kit.

Amazing what can be "created" Mr. Potato Head style!
-
Probably should have this on the Garage Sale silo of the Forum if it's not already there.
-
These shipped 5/4/78 to Custom Audio.

We do not have the logbook covering 1964 when these shipped. In late 1963 the driver complement was very consistent: K33J woofer, K55V mid, K77 tweeter, and W6 network. Naturally as "curator", I lean to restoration to stock components. Our 1954 and 1957 "pair" at the Museum's visitors center never cease to amaze.
