where did you find this badge fileDidn't think they'd have any, but I wrote Klipsch support asking after these. Here's what I got back, in case anyone else is trying to get hold of 'em:Product: KSF-S5 Part Number: 70231 Part Description: KV4 LOGO FINALLY! Found somebody selling a pair of KSB 3.1 grills with their original badges (http://www.ebay.com/itm/271930245483), which are the same part number as the ones from the KSF-S5s. And it only took checking my eBay saved searches and doing nationwide Craigslist-searches EVERY SINGLE DAY FOR FOUR MONTHS! At least I got ‘em cheap.

Though Colter did send me a TON of useful information, he doesn’t have any of these specific badges. Anybody else? Bueller?

Just to finish this project out: I figured out a way to get only the white portions of the badges changed to black. First, I spray painted over both the badges, exposed copper parts and all. After letting them dry, I took a shop towel and dabbed it in some xylol from the hardware store. I then wiped off the raised (copper) parts with the xylol-ed shop towel. I only messed up a couple of times when I got too much of the solvent on the shop towel and it ran down onto the parts I still wanted painted black. They look alright from about 6 feet away, but you can see that they’re not quite right up close. Still on the hunt for some original black badges that look like these if anyone’s got a line on them...

First thing I did was call Klipsch. They said they didn’t have any. Thanks for the tip on Colter’s—I’ll check with them!

Anybody got a pair of these lying around? They’re from KSF-S5s, but there were a few other speakers from around the same time that had the same ones. The ones in the attached photo are my attempt to repaint a pair from white to black and still retain the raised copper lettering. The results were...mixed. Thanks, —Rob

Edit: Sorry—never mind.

Sorry if my wording was confusing. Klipsch just gave me the tech. specs to help me track some down.

It's from a pic I turned up on Google Images (http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/60349/file-389950027-jpg/images/klipsch-2-resized-600.jpg), but it's real close to the one on my KSF-C5. The one in the image doesn’t appear to have the little copper lines in the lettering like the one I’ve got. I think they were used on the KSP-S6 and some of the KG & KSB series as well. Edited to show the actual badges I’m looking for. ...Why?

I’m also looking for a pair of badges, but not ones that have been mentioned here yet... I need two of: ...anybody got a line on these?

Thanks! I thought this was project was *totally* within the scope of my abilities until I b*tched the grills up with that sealant paint. At that point, I started to sweat a little. Glad they came out like they did—I’m pretty happy with the finished product. Now all I have to do is convince the wife that they’ve been on the wall like that since we moved in...I can’t believe she never noticed them!

As promised: ...now all I need is some matching badges!
