The paradox of living in CA. My brother has a home in Ridgecrest where they have a subdivision with 5 acre lots. Every few houses have a well in common with a tank for storage and no limits on what they use in an area that gets maybe 6.5" of rain a year. He has planted a lot of goodies out there with pistachios being the latest. Drip irrigation and it is odd to see green postage stamps on google earth in their area surrounded by total desolation.

Now Carl, only movie stars and politicians are allowed to water their lawns out there.

It is nice looking, just in the wrong state. The back deck looks perfect for a gun range large set of speakers.

OK folks these are GONE

OK you got the last set. $52 will get them to your door priority mail insured lower 48. fieldweld@att.net is paypal for family and friends.

Yes but you live out there so you still have to pay for the insanity. There are some really pretty spots in CA and it is a shame wrong minded people are ruining it. On another note one of the things that surprised me in the national parks out there was how sparse good hardwoods and wildlife was compared to here in TN where I live. And water. On my 3/4 mile dead end road there are four families who have springs that have never been known to go dry. Gun range down the street at my neighbors and we all are out there at times shooting on our own pieces and no one minds or complains. I traveled around the country working in the early 80's and spent some time in CA and Washington. I chose to live in TN for a number of reasons and each year I am more and more grateful for that choice. Land of Milk and Honey and not Poop and Money.

I have three sets of these I am not going to use. Pulls from La Scalas where I replaced them with soldered lugs. $40 a set plus shipping and if anyone is interested I will do an ohm and frequency sweep check on them.

Yup and while you are at it check all the driver screws, replace the horn gasket and make sure if you have spade end connectors they are tight and not loose.

I don't know if it requires practice but California is run by idiots who will pay you to do so and let you sleep where you want. If you need food just walk in any store and leave with what you need since any theft under $900 is a misdemeanor now and they won't arrest you for it. Run out of needles they can help you there too. Drugs needed no problem we will look the other way when you buy sell and use. Also we have FREE medical care for anyone with preference given to homeless and illegals and don't worry we have these nice legal wage earners and home owners who will subsidize you. Come On Down to the land of poop and money.

Those are the ones I have. I have bought old pro gear that has had resistors so hot they scorched the crossover board and capacitors melted to cute blue silver puddles. Something about the mentality of SLV people that says turn it up and give no thought for stated wattage limits. Had an old LSI once that actually had the woofer catch fire and scorch marks inside the doghouse at the top of the woofer motorboard slot.

Easy. You get a big rubber mallet and start whacking on the bottom front edge and work your way up. A wide pry bar is useful to pull the piece being removed from parts you want to preserve after you open up a small gap to prevent splintering of edges you want to keep.The only piece that may get damaged is the very top which you have to replace anyway since the 25 MM Baltic will leave a ledge there if you don't. Those old glue joints break out pretty easy and I have done maybe four of these now with no issues. I have one I am going to do this to in the shop right now. Maybe I will do a thread on this with pictures. I have also contemplated a rebuild so the top section would have enough space to let me use an LMAHL rather than an SMAHL. Then again I just might make it a two piece if I go that far. Decisions decisions.

Well the nice thing about drop in replacement parts is you can keep the OEM ones for historic restoration if desired when sold or passed on and still enjoy improved sound without altering your cabinet. I have a set of super pristine Heresy 1's I am going to turn into Super Heresys but the OEM back panel with the original owner papers still attached and the OEM Type E crossover with new caps and the woofers and tweeters will be preserved and go with the box when it sells. You can have your cake and eat it to if you wish.

Label is different but otherwise yes looks the same. These are good drivers though newer ones have passed them up. I am throwing out all my old 1st gen 510's but keeping the DE75's that were on them.

Yeah the cascade of closings has gone everywhere now it seems. Sitting out here on the farm life goes on pretty much as normal so I don't keep fully up to date on all this nonsense.

Anything with enough protection can be shipped. These are not to big to ship. I am not going to ship. I hear they do make great exploding targets though and I have a nice new 2 MOA Red Dot to try on these.

Oh wow I had no idea they had. Never contacted them yet and was thinking of doing so.

woops only 20 years old bhut still around for a long time.

No you don't buy old 30 year old Klipsch speakers and complain to Klipsch about a problem like this you just suck it up and move on and know more things to look for in the future. I mainly brought this whole topic up to warn people there is a 510 out there you DO NOT want. I bet they did replace a ton of them back then while there was a warranty on them.

I might just bring one to SWAG anyway. If you have never seen these you just have no idea how bad it can get. Then I can do a drop test. Had a guy over to listen to the 904's I am working on and told him about these. I went to grab yet another one that I discovered had a cracked mounting flange and said here watch this. "NO" he says "Don't do it"! It was evident by the way I was handling it that I meant to drop it on the floor. Well I did and his eyes bugged out as this thing from 4' up just goes to pieces. Talking to a past Klipsch dealer and he says they caught all kinds of grief over these.

Well there is always the ridge top now that you guys crawfished on me. They will provide a different type of exploding target than Tannerite.

No wait they are exquisite and function better than new!!! Really

I don't see how these could sound like the newer 510's or the EBay clones. There is a lot of difference.

I will have to go see how many are out there and let you knowe. Look guys this is no big favor you are getting here but I am glad to shovel my junk off to you. If I thought there was any value here I would not junk them. They are bad enough that I am buying new EBay horns for these 904 sets I am fixing up and that should tell you something.

Way to far away for you to drive, Tennessee. I will put a set of these beauties up there next to Kirbys speakers. Don't say you were not warned. I don't know what happened to this batch but the workmanship is really bad and the material is too. I bet Klipsch changed these pretty darned quick as I imagine their commercial customers were not amused. I have a set of 510 clones from EBay and the guys with current non-mumps 510 horn say they look exactly alike. The difference between the first gen and third gen is huge. I guess from what I gather the mumps type is gen 4. It was kind of funny to notice when I was taking these horns off the mounting board how loose many of the screws were and I think it was to stop cracks and not because they worked loose over time. Same thing with the KPT-100 and 200 tweeters. Lots of those screws run in just enough to contact the lens flange but not snug it down. Same brittle junk and I had some with cracks running from the corners down into the lens along the inside corner and you would not see them until you tightened the screws down like you thought they should be and then you found out why they had been backed off. Bet the Klipsch factory guys hated these.
