Awesome thread. Do you think you'll know when to stop?

I lusted after these in high school. I think these that start out finished black oak actually end up looking better than factory oak when they are stripped and refinished. Great job!

I was going to suggest this. Now that it's working, you might also want to capture those codes in case it does stop working.

Nice deal on those. I really liked my Cornwalls.

More than I paid for my Khorns, but those look very nice. Last I heard a pair was 30 years ago, but they left a very good impression. They handled the god-awful carver solid state power the machinist (read: mostly deaf guy ) was liberally applying to them better than the Khorns he had in the same room.

Looks like some cabinet damage on the one near the bottom right side. I despise Craigslisters that don't show pics of obvious significant damage.

Not much risk unless you are buying site unseen and shipping.

Since you don't seem to have a lot of experience, I would urge you to purchase something that is comfortable to your budget and in excellent working condition. If you are buying used, you should include in your budget some money for having it serviced. Khorns are insanely efficient and any buzz or hum will be exponentially more annoying than with a traditional box speaker. The Dynaco designs work well with the Khorn. I use MK3's and St 35's on mine and I have a few others (Scott 340a, Fisher 400, Decware SE 84, blah blah).

I have a pair of empty Marquis in the garage if anyone is near Cleveland and looking for a project. No drivers.

I am clearly not enough of a historian to appreciate these fully...

That would definitely do the job.

not exactly giving them away...

Any pics of the veneer? especially the repair.

Apparently the Mormons had them at some point.

I wrapped my Cornwall metal horns in this flexible rope caulking. It's also good for sealing drivers and backs. It's super heavy and dense and cheap as well.

Sold off all my solid state gear awhile ago, but I'd love to own one of those.

Eclectic interior design choices playing the swords off of the Bobby Jones commemorative Augusta rug.

I would of loved to have that owner's manual when I still had mine. You should upload it to hifiengine.com for posterity.

I'd be interested as well depending on the pressing and condition?

I thought the same thing. It's like that blue dress meme- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dress

I'd rock those.

Hope he never plugged that thing into this outlet in his video-

Nice build! I'm wondering if the magnets on the grill are necessary of if you could of use slugs or ferris washers. I've considered adding magnetic grills in the past and worried that magnets on on both pieces would be overkill. Plus knowing my luck I'd invert the polarity on one side or the other and the grills would repel, lol.

Wonderful shape considering the age.

What size drivers are in these? Ever get closer to Cleveland?
