    serial numbers?

    that's funny - I sealed the panels and added silicon to interior joints.

    Just a couple quick picks after putting them back together... great thing about these old cabinets: 1. Theres plenty of veneer to sand, and 2. you can remove the front and rear baffles... so if the top is too damaged from a plant pot, simply flip it over and refinish the bottom. The wood looks fantastic -- got most of the heavy staining out of the grill. They have a nice vintage character now. Still sound great (new Crites crossover).

    I'm putting these back together. Any benefit to using foam tape gaskets for the baffles or around the horns? Originally just screwed wood on wood (poor seal).

    What is the length of the horn? Likely wouldn't fit in a cornwall cab.

    I'll be pulling the woofers this weekend from the photo above -- let me know if there is anything you want me to look for.

    This is my experience -- thank you for confirming. By every ear test and frequency test the diaphragms are fine. I will test the caps before pulling them out. Also, I will be doing a full cosmetic restoration... stay tuned.
  13. Stevenarrow
    Just the angle of the photo. These are three way.
  14. Stevenarrow
    Question: how do I tell if the diaphragms need replacing? Frequency sweeps? crackling/distortion?
  15. Stevenarrow
    K77, 55, 22 with C Type crossover. These really do sound great.
  16. Stevenarrow
    I bought them for a restoration project. Just listening to them now, If anyone told me these were 50 years old, I'd laugh in their face. Sound really great.
  17. Stevenarrow
    Well, now you are showing off...! nice speakers -- thanks for the advice.

    Really?! What do the OG badges look like? I can work the wood a bit, but yeah, rough shape cosmetically. Asking $300. Seen nice ones go for twice that.
  19. Stevenarrow
    A little rough, but I am handy with veneer refinishing.

    Hey guys, stumbled on a pair of H700 Heresy's at an antieque shop while on vacation. What's the going rate on these: 1966 model. They work well, but the cane grills and enclosures are a little beat up. The logos look good. Should I buy them?
  22. Stevenarrow
    Whats the difference between the 1231 and the 231 model? There's one for sale locally.
  23. Stevenarrow
    Cool, let me know how it goes. Main thing for me is to not introduce any extra noise.

    Room treatments are tough. Here are few random notes: I'd recommend you identify a specific issue before trying to solve the 'problem'. As a rule of thumb: A very good room will have about 20% of all surfaces covered with broad band absorption and 20% of all surfaces with broadband diffusion -- plus bass traps in corners. and by all surfaces, I mean walls, floor and ceiling. Treating only a small area of a room is kind of like throwing a bucket of water on a house fire. Try opening a window and seeing if there is a difference -- a window is a perfect absorber; as any sound that hits it does not reflect back into the room. My point being that, the small relative surface area likely does very little to the overall sound in your listening space... Be careful when using thin absorption. You can reduce a specific high frequency reflections that accentuate other frequency -- either positively or negatively.

    The Leben integrated amp has RCA "record out" > "tape in" and a "tape monitor" switch... so, I should be able to put it in line and switch it off completely when testing.
