  1. Arash,

    I am really enjoying seeing your progress.

    As far as the broken tap....Here in the USA ...in the machine building trade.... our saying for broken taps ....is ....(Shit happens)......and it has happened to all of us.

    I have been a machine builder ever since I finished my apprenticeship in 1980.....a long .........long time ago.

    Keep the pics coming....I am really looking forward to a video of your test winding.

     

    Once again....Great job,

  2. Arash,

    Great work.

    The design is what I call a simple elegance. What you have done is built a lathe head  (love the 10 mm 3 jaw chuck).

    Then you use the ball screw for the winding progression. What do you have in mind for a control system. I see in your Solidworks assembly you have an encoder mounted to take of turn counts. How do you plan on braking the turn count motor.

    Yes, but offerup limits the search radius.

    Some good deals, but the 50mi radius makes it a bit more limited.

     

    You probably know every pair of Klipsch speakers for sale ....ON THE PLANET.... !

    I am concerned.  Always concerned about such message from Forum friends.  We've all been on the same road for a long time.  Take a detour if you must, but please rejoin the caravan. 

     

    I fully agree with Christy.  Blood is blood, but we are family here even if the DNA doesn't match.  Godspeed, and safe journey, my friend.

    Could not have said it any better.

    Be safe.

    Only one of those speakers is a 7.  The RS-7's.  The center is an RC-3, the bookshelves appear to be RB-3's.  The towers are RF-35's.  Good deal still, but not quite what I was expecting from the title of the listing. haha

    My thoughts exactly.....still a great deal

    well ....how do they look??. The uppers look like walnut,

    Suggestion....go to Dollar General buy some poster board and blue tape cut the poster board in sheets and cover the drivers ...if you do not want to remove them.

    Get them looking nice ....then use Watco rejuvenating oil...If you need to refinish risers you my need to pick up stain to match....best match I found is Minwax gunstock...

     

    They are getting there

     

    PS....nice mattress

     

    George,

  7. Risers are pretty easy to fix...The brackets can be reattached with a hot glue gun...you could drill a couple small holes through the the plastic corner brackets and screw them on.

    Just use short enough screws ( not to break through the outside of the risers).

    Taking off all the old veneer ...you will need a heat gun and a good L shaped scraper...and a little work (patients). You can get adhesive backed veneer from Rockler.

    Just cut into 2 3/4 inch strips and re veneer the sides.....staining to match is not so easy....use some of the veneer scrap pieces to match .

     

    See photos.

  8. I just love going to shows like Axpona ...and I do go every year...then I go home and listen to my working mans system ( chorus II's  and 80's m series Yamaha )

    and say ..."Wow I saved a lot of money"    High end is not always better....looks nice.

     

    Thanks,

    The three people who have posted previously have owned this unit. You are selling after a couple months. You bought it from rockhound, who owned it a few month. He got it from silversport. I don't know how long he owned it, but this begs the question why this receiver keeps selling after only a few months of ownership? Feel free to PM me.

    Good question
