  1. I worked at Klipsch, in the engineering lab. There were a LOT of old blueprints in the archives. I can't say I remember ever seeing these particular drawings, but they sure look authentic, from what little memory I have left. I would definitely make copies of them to preserve them. My "guess" is that these drawings probably aren't directly from the hand of Paul. If memory serves, he almost always initialed and dated his drawings and any other notes he made with PWK, just as it appears in the logo. Even sketches that he handed to me, had his initials on them. I didn't see anyone's name or initials in the title block of the drawings. As for value, I wouldn't even hazard a guess. But, in terms of sentiment, I'd treasure them, especially since you own the speaker it was built from. One last little note, since you mentioned that you might build another... If you want a matched pair, I believe you'll have to pull all of your dimensions from those drawings or from your loudspeaker. I wouldn't mix them with other drawings you might find. I seem to recall that there were multiple changes to the cabinet over the years as the design was upgraded, woofers were re-sourced, and not to mention different variations on the original, like the E-V Georgian and Patrician. I wish I had a better memory. But, it's been almost 30 years. I do agree that Jim Hunter would almost certainly like to know of them. When I knew him, he would always love to find a new tidbit of history.
