    For Sale: Rebuilt K-horn Type AA Crossovers $100.00

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    $100.00 + shipping Pay Pal for a set of Type AA crossovers from my 1975 Khorns. They were rebuilt by Bob Crites in Dec. '09 (rebuild consisting of new Sonicaps all around and testing to factory specs).

    They work fine and are in good condition. I simply have no need of them since I since I broke down and treated myself to a new set of Dean Wescott's Classic, 1st order, Type A crossovers with the Jensen PIO caps....Wow, what an improvement!!!

    Crossovers will be carefully packed and shipped USPS Priority Mail and shipping should be under $10.00

    Khorn capacitors

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    Hello all:

    Have been acquiring several Heritage speakers over the past several years and finally was able to land some Khorns.

    I
    just picked up the 1975 Klipschorns and thought I should send the
    xovers in to get new caps installed. I'm looking at the xovers and the
    two smaller caps are small yellow plastic looking cylinders that say
    Paktron, WC +/-5%, 2.0 MFD, 7306 150V. They look like they're epoxied
    to the board

    The other capacitor is a large metal cylinder
    nearly an inch in diameter and 2.25 inches long. I can't make out the
    what the printing says on it because it's obscured by the piece of
    metal strip affixing to the board.

    My question is: do these sound
    like the caps that would have been installed originally or are some of
    these maybe the result of the xovers already having had their caps
    replaced.

    Bought the Khorns from an ebay seller/agent who
    indicated his client was the original owner but had had a stroke and
    wasn't able to remember doing any cap replacement or any other service
    work on them.

    They sound pretty good but from everything I read here I think there's potentially more there.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
