Thanks guys!
Mungkiman, I stumbled on those Klipschorn restore pics from Greg myself actually. Very nice work. The Wendell cane seems to be about as close as new stuff will ever be to the Klipsch OEM. I have Wendell sending me a sample to compare to my original. I'll likely redo rather than attempt localized repairs but thanks for the offer and I'll keep it in mind.
MoparBob, looking forward to your pics.\
Dean, yeah the crossover work looked respectable to me but I wasn't sure about the specifics. Thanks for the input on that. I guess I'll leave them alone as they sound really nice to my ear.
Another cool thing I thought you guys would be interested in. I have a late Sixties walnut shelf that looks as though it was custom made to go with my Cornwalls. The shelves are the exact same thickness as the lumber used for the Cornwall cabs. I'm rubbing BLO on it and regluing the dowels to give it some new life. Then I'll bolt it to the wall and use it as my LP shelf. Attached are two pics. One shows a piece of the shelf next to the walnut riser from my cabs and the other shows the shelf being worked on in my garage. I like the idea of matching the cabs to an era-specific LP shelf. I think they'll look great together. I tried to find a manufacturer marking on it so you guys could look for similar stuff if interested but I didn't see anything.
