    Sold.

    SOLD: 1978 Cornwalls in oiled walnut - $950

     

    I bought these April 28, 2017 from @avguytx.  I have thoroughly enjoyed them.  But I recently acquired a pair of La Scalas, and I do not have room for the Cornwalls and the La Scalas.  So, the Cornwalls are for sale.

     

    Serial numbers are 18S238 and 18S239. Before I bought them avguytx converted the crossovers from Type B to Type B-2 using Solen capacitors and Janzen coils.

     

    The badges were missing when I acquired them.  I purchased a pair of the PWK "pie slice" badges from Klipsch and applied them to the upper right corner of each grill.

    I do not want to ship these.  However, I am going to the Pilgrimage in Hope and can deliver them there.

     

    Pictures to follow....

    This is another detail I'm working on.  Wondering if we shouldn't borrow some from the plant or if I just shouldn't rent some????  UUUGGGHHH!!!!

     

    If we borrow them from the plant we would have to return them Sunday morning or first thing Monday morning!!!!

    I will not be in a hurry to leave Sunday.  If needed, I can help return chairs.  I will be in my truck, so have plenty of room to haul chairs.

     

    Although as someone else suggested, folks could bring their own.  I had already planned on doing so.  My chairs are much more comfortable than the typical "institutional" type of folding chairs.  Maybe encourage everyone to bring their own, and get a few from the plant.

    I am guessing Hope is around 1000 miles from here. Just a guess, it may be more. Not out of the realm of a pop in... Highly unlikely.

     

    google sez 1,198 mile from here...    little more unlikely...

    Any progress on getting your La Scalas across Texas?

    Yes, I'm definitely attending.  I'm sure there are several others that are traveling a greater distance than my paltry 837 miles....but I get to stop in Memphis the night before, so I've got that going for me....

    Take good care of my SX-1250 along the way!  :D:D:D

    Morning.

    1/2 pot of coffee down. Almost approachable.

    Been up since 2:30.

     Hope is around half way.  Unfortunately, I don't have any people in TX beside the folks I've met here. ElPaso/LasCruces NM is about as good as I can do. My friend in LC ... I'm thinking his boy is in Houston....  That going the wrong direction.

     

    Anyone from SoCal headed to the pilgrimage?

     

      If it doesn't happen ... thnx

    Plan A involved me driving a rented KIA Soul the r/t. Tucson - IN - NC - IN and home

    Assuming everything will fit in the KIA.

      and my being able

     

    Maybe a post in the "Pony Express" thread and/or the "Pilgrimage 2018" thread could find someone to haul them from Hope to Las Cruces.

    Hey, no problem, hope it works out. Ive been wanting to meet Jim for a while, and check out his Klipsch mancave of speakers. I've also been wanting to go to St Louis for a baseball game. 

    Does anybody know if La Scalas will fit in a GMC Acadia? I have my trusty GMC full size truck, but then weather might be a concern.

    According to the Klipsch spec sheet the La Scala dimensions are:

     

    Height: 35 1/2"
    Width: 23 3/4"
    Depth: 24 1/2"

     

    I'll be driving a 1/2 ton Dodge Ram with a fiberglass shell on the back.  It stays dry in the rain.  It rained on me when I brought my Cornwalls home, and they stayed dry.

    I have a buddy in LasCruces that might bring them from there ... or near.

    ....only Texas in the way...

    Just checking to see if there's any progress on this.  We've got a little over 3 weeks to make it happen.

    Well that's a bummer. Maybe the Klipsch family can somehow get those speakers to you. I'm not too far from Jim, I could probably get them to St Louis. Then maybe another member can get them a little farther west. I might be worth a try.

    If you can get them to some point on I-44 west of St. Louis, I can get them to Hope in May.  Maybe someone close to WillyBob will be at the Pilgrimage, and can take them from there.

    Close... but I'm not convinced that's upside down.  Backwards, sideways, vertical?  Yes.   The first several seconds "look" like they may be upside down.  But, it could just be camera angle too.
