  1. A couple of observations from a 3M ( and other tape manufacturers ) distributor:  3M 845 is a 3.4 mil ( heavy duty ) book binding repair tape the Lineco product appears to be a very thin page tear repair product.  I seriously doubt the Lineco tape will be suitable to repair a hinged album cover unless it is similarly as thick.  If long term preservation is desired you will need to have a tape that has an acid free adhesive.  3M 845 is acid free and I have no clue about Lineco.  There are likely several brands that fit the bill but will require a little recon.

     

    I am in complete agreement with Rivervalleymgb about trying to repair from the  inside of  cover if at all possible. 

  2. Good luck with your sale Bob.  

     

    La Scala's are excellent speakers for certain.  The posts that get the greatest response are usually the ones with the best photos.  You may want to include a few more well lit shots.  In particular the tags on the back will help folks identify whether the finish is original etc.  For what it's worth I think you are offering a very fair deal.  

     

    Welcome to the forum.  There are many well informed people here that generously share their knowledge.

    please note my edit. it was funny in my head, when contrasted against his preference for the klipsch forum's congeniality. in my defense, I've been with a whiny toddler and needy 2 month old all day.

     

     

    You know, it's not watermelon seeds that cause them.  If you don't figure it out quick, you can expect to see more around the house.   :tongue:

     

     

    Google results indicate that amorous activity is the #1 cause of child birth.  So much for the watermelon patch...

  4. The Belvenie - Aged 40yrs.  Typically in very small quantities and special occasions.  Agree on the Hard Cider, it was a nice change from beer and great for fall.  VT has a lot of hard cider makers and the offerings are excellent!

     

    The 12 yr Belvenie is very very good.  I can only imagine that 40yr tastes like liquid scotch silk.  By the way: drinking 40 year old Belvenie is the "special occasion".  Enjoy that my friend.

    When an infection does occur in humans, the virus can be spread in several ways to others. Ebola is spread through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with

    • blood or body fluids (including but not limited to urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen) of a person who is sick with Ebola
    • objects (like needles and syringes) that have been contaminated with the virus
    • infected animals
    • Ebola is not spread through the air or by water, or in general, food. However, in Africa, Ebola may be spread as a result of handling bushmeat (wild animals hunted for food) and contact with infected bats.

    Nothing better than a post that is loaded with facts. Hat's off to you Mr. ( Daddy) Smith or Thad Dad or maybe Thaddy Daddy.....

  6. Others more knowledgeable than I will likely weigh in but I have never seen an Cornwall Decorator with factory bullnose trim.  I have seen creative veneers etc. that are beautiful and other creative finishes.  Usually the tags will have an indicator for options.  That does not seem to be the case with yours.  What did you discover that leads you to the conclusion that this is a Klipsch trim out?

  7. Who got these?  Someone did for $2,026.  Ended last night, then disappeared, I guess until payment was processed.  Showed up in Sold Listings earlier today.

     

    Mark?

    That is more than fair for that pair of Khorns in my opinion.  I hope Mark got them.

  8. I love the '69 SS Z/28 my favorite of all time; paid $2800 for a new one with the headers and traction bars in the trunk. In '79 my new Z/28 has an MSRP of $7200 but I only kept it stock for a week before implementing an aluminum 427 with tunnel ram 2x 465 Holleys and nitrous. Second favorite would be the '67 Nova SS; never had one. A stripper offered to buy me one if I moved in with her but I declined (oh, the ways of youth) but did have a '64 Nova SS 283 4 speed that I installed an LT1 350 in. '70 Boss 302 Mustang was nice but since I am NOT a Ford fan it was turned quickly; sold for $700. Fastest owned was a '69 SS Camaro with a Dutch Hoag built 350 and my '66 GTO with Ram Air V 455 after I removed the 389 tri-power.

     

    My goodness- I'd have loved to hang around your garage back in the day.  I would be especially interested how that '79 Z28 faired with a aluminum 427 torquing that sub frame.  I bet it made for a wild ride!  Very cool list of the very best of an era.

  9. No, that bad boy had a 421 under the hood and as an optional 4 speed in the floor and came from factory with dual exhaust. In 1965 it was built as a Catalina option but in 1966 the 2+2 was a car on its own and was no longer connected to the name Catalina. The car was marketed as the big brother to the GTO!

     

    Canadian versions of the car had bigger Chevy motors in them.

     

     

    My uncle owned this bad machine and I wanted it bad and almost got it too if the damn thing hadn't used a quart of oil every 2 thousand miles LOL. I pleaded with my father for the car and he thought I wasn't ready for the car at 16 years old. I still want one! Can you tell?

    I can tell for sure.  Maybe it's time for you to go car shopping.

  10. Lots of people say the jag e type is the most beautiful car ever. I don't see it.

     

    Nitro-  When I was at the University of Illinois I worked at a foreign car parts and service center called Starr Imports.  The owner Phil Starr had both an F and an E type.  I would always detail them for him but he rarely drove them.  He tossed me the keys and told me to drive them if I wanted because he said " I'm too old and gnarly for them to do me any good".  I gladly accepted his invite.  Those are not the cars to go unnoticed in.  Good call on those old Jags. --just saw that you don't see it but I can tell you people will shower you with comments when you drive them.

  11. Ever since I was little I loved Impalas.  I probably didn't know why at the beginning but it is because they always have had great lines.  The '59 had the best lines of any car IMHO.  

     

    My first was a canary yellow convertible w/ black top - black interior '64 with a 283 column shift powerglide trans.  I sold it about 25 years ago and have regretted it every day since.  The '68 below has been in my garage for 17 of it's fourty seven years ( sep. 67 build - same year I came off the line ).  It is a 327 w/  a powerglide .  Any other Impala fans out there?  Or what car makes your heart skip a beat?

  12. I put Crites CT-125 tweets and A/4500 crossovers in my LaScala's and noticed quite a bit better clarity as well as defined soundstage.  My original crossovers were not only 25 or so years old but looked like they'd been fiddled with.  I agree with Carlooch.

  13.  

    A-S2000  has been out for a few years and has excellent reviews as well.  Yamaha's A-S series has the goods and the looks.  I love how they reached back and used paddles and machined dials.  You may notice that on the 1970's  CA- 2010's and 1010's the paddles and dials are used on opposite functions from the modern units.

     

    Congrats on that new amp!

    I have read those reviews and they are very favorable.  The knobs and paddles are solid.

    I had Yamaha Parts on the phone yesterday trying to see if I can order a pair of the light wood side panels(natural cherry maybe?).  They are not available here in the states so they may have to come from Japan.  They were only available on the silver A-S1000 in Japan and the A-S2000 in Japan and the US.  If the price is too high, then I will continue with my original plan and have my leftover cherry boards cut and routed to fit.

    Your A-S is gorgeous as is but I sure would like to see photo's of it with cherry side panels when they are done.  I think that will really make the face POP.  Looking at this Yamaha line of audio gear is very encouraging.  Shouldn't all excellent performing high end audio look as wonderful as it sounds?  They certainly did decades ago.  High style form and function are on the rise at Yamaha - that's for certain. Please keep us posted on the panels and maybe a review could be forthcoming for us who are saving our paper route money for a A-S ?.

  15. I'm afraid I must decline the generous offer to " DON'T MISS THIS OUT TO OWN THEM."  Or maybe I am accepting his offer to "DON'T MISS THIS OUT TO OWN THEM" ?   Which response will allow me to keep my $ 1800.00 and he keeps the H II's?
