  1. You only need bleed the air out if radiator is lower than the head of the engine,,,fiats,hondas,etc....Rick
  2. You can get after market electric fans from Jeggs or Summit racing catalogs and wire it in... the diameter of the fan is the only thing to worry about.But if your coolant is leaking out no amount of fan is going to fix it you need to find out where coolant is going.When the cooling system is running at 40% ,,,old radiator,,,old fan ..it all adds up to system overload in the summer.Also the atomatic trasmission is cooled by radiator to so that adds to the heat...install tranny cooler it will help radiator and transmission.....Ok for the pedals just practice while holding on to something and also get use to doing one pedal all the time so you dont have to think about it and unclip before you stop.I think getting clipped in at a light to get going is harder cause your nervous trying to get across the light.Rick
  3. Why do you want to look at them do they sound ok?The bottom panel is screwed on but may need little prying be carefull though.Rick
  4. Well my 1978 price list says H-D_BR 295.00 and the high end was rosewood,teak,cherry,oak those were all 436.00.Rick
  5. That may not be water damage the veneer peels off like that just from moving them sometimes.If it is water damage it will be across the whole bottom so you better take a real good look before bidding,Rick
  6. In the 70s HK430s were about 450.00 so they were on the high end back then and they do sound good ask a few who have them.Rick
  7. Welcome to the Klipsch family,now you need to try HK430 reciever on those heresys you will not believe how good they sound on one.Rick
  8. If your not going to seal it to the corner why put in a corner at all..rick
  9. Hey Peter Do one side with Tailboard seals and horz. seals so you can A-B them and let us know what you find out.When i put Grippers on my Scalas..per Andy...i didnt A-B them cause i was in a hurry and forgot i wish i would have thought about it more but i do think it helped.Rick
  10. Yes you do need to seal the tailboard and the top of the bass bin to the wall.If you dont seal the tail board the presure will go around it and up the corner of the room.If you dont seal the horz. top part of the bass bin presure can go up the wall instead of out the flare of the wall.Rick
  11. Welcome Julie,Do tell us what you have for a reciever i would recomend you try Harman Kardon 430 twinn powered reciever from the 1970's.You can usually get one around 80 bucks on ebay they sound very good with Heritage speakers.Rick
  12. Hey Andy I miss our long chats online about anything and everything take care.Wude Rick
  13. Also check the connections on the woofer wires while you got the bottom off.Rick
  14. All that info. can be learned here in the forum,,,,are your oile finish?if so use boiled linseed oiland make sure you take rags outside...fire hazard,,,seal tailboards to corner,,,,need more info just ask,,,Rick Tate
  15. How much would you like to get for it? Does it work, do all lights work???Rick Tate
  16. Sounds like they are out of a theater alot of theater Heresys didnt have the tweeter.Rick
  17. The tailboard needs to be sealed to the wall and along the top part of bass bin would help to.Rick
  18. The Grippers,,,,like HDBR--Andy said long time ago... pull the sliders off from factory and put the grippers on...i did it to my Scalas and i think it improved the sound,,,,was in a hurry so i didnt A-B them cant prove it.Rick
  19. If you have a westlake hardware near you they have those big type wing nuts,,,,almost exactly like the old ones.Rick
  20. Why do you want carpet under them? I would put grippers from walmart on them to hook them up to the floor. Rick
  21. Not only does the twinn trannys make it like two amps in the reciever they have very low distortion in the first watt.First time i got a HK430 i said wow.. now i got three HKs ...lol...Rick
  22. Brand new ones from place in Texas i forgot the name but i got new ones to build my ALKs ,,,thanks AL...ALK web site can tell you where to get them im sure.Rick
  23. SRV...The house is rockin dont bother knockin..lol
  24. Before you pull it off try heating one half up with a iron and pushing it back together ,,,might need two people to push while you heat the veneer up.Other option is pull back halves off and re-do.I also like the router and inlay idea could make it look cool with contrasting wood strip or metal.Did it pull apart on the tops to?Rick
