and then , they euthanise the dog for barking - what a sad story - -
Any chance this might be an interesting LaScala mod?

here is the picture of the KP 320 - you can see the down-firing passive radiator at an angle - that is sufficient for long term reliability - and perfectly adaptable to the scala as long as the passive radiator is properly positioned in the dog house opening - -

The KLIPSCH KP 320 had a 12 inch downfiring passive radiator - and had no issues with reliability KP-320 pdf.pdf -

you have to remove the amp from the cabinet along with that mess of wires --then , go through all the wires -1 by one - to make sure that it not a simple problem of resoldering a contact or several contacts - -
sure are , these are loaded to the hilt - a 3 inch voice coil for the eliptrac/de750 - a 3 inch voice coil for the k43 - that results in a perfect balanced sound output from 40htz to 18khz -

-now , dont go stick your finger in these units - these black and brown heat shields around wires are there for a reason - they indicate high power areas -there was no such thing as heat shrink tubing back then , but they did things quite neatly as everything was safely built - -considering the maze of wiring needed to connect all the components of the amplifier to operate ,one can say that these solid state amps were not your average Made in Japan Discrete technology - -

yep , they all do that - you could smell the odor of the wires when these were powered on - I am not sure if they were coated at the factory with a glue like substance or if the wires just get very hot due to the heat that was given off by the parts -no worry here , the wires were sticky after a few weeks of operation - they could last like that for years -I have a console over 50 years old and that is how the wires are since new - and there are loads of wires in these consoles - -

these consoles lasted forever - when you light it up or shut it down , the ON/OFF dial it makes a popping static sound -- that 's how they were made , it was the last electronics made in the USA for the home market - -GE -Sears-Magnavox brands were the most common -- these were as much a sound machine than a piece of furniture - later units also had TV 's in them - and all the magic was under a swivel top -hidden underneath were the speakers - the radio -the tape and turntable - these were the good old days - -

there is nothing nasty about these - that is the way they were done back then and they were good enough to play records and listen to the radio - not too loud as the whole cabinet vibrated - Kenmore-GE-Radio shack - etc , these were for home use -there are no detailed mids -bass or highs here - just basic sound - if you are expecting HI-FI , these were not - -
it really makes no difference how you move it -if you cant put it upright due to it's height - take a kid's mattress or a piece of foam and put it under - basically it has to be padded underneath - we dont want it to flex -although these have a strong frame - -in the movie industry , plasmas are moved around in big cases - and they dont brake unless they are dropped -

whatever is broken on the inside of the cabinet can be fixed - I would flip the unit over after removing the turntable and amplifier - then remove the components - bad wiring -rewire the unit - modify the amp - a pair of kp 101 speakers on each end would be easy to mount on each side - producing the equivalent of 1.5 heresy cabs - 2 way setup -
