  1. Thank you all, overwhelmed with gratitude for the support good people... since I just became a gramps a few days ago, I just don't have as much time on hand to do all that may be required to fully refinish them myself at the moment. I'd rather relax with family and listen to the music and enjoy vs. using any harsh paint removers or paint (at this juncture). BlueHusky, the vac idea is exactly what I've tried numerous times unsuccessfully with my Electrolux canister vacuum circa same age as the Fortes :-) but will try again using your slide over technique .... maybe I need a more powerful vacuum cleaner. Again, I'm so grateful for all the help here, and never realized through the decades of Klipsch ownership that this wellspring of likeminded obsessive audiophiles were lurking "inside the speakers"- will revert back and wishing all more listening enjoyment... Thank heaven.... none of my issues effect the sound.
  2. All good suggestions, thanks. I bought these from Harvey Electronics in NYC 31 years ago, and I have the owner's manuals and registration cards that I never sent in, but doubt I have receipts from Harvey anywhere filed... will have to dig deep into the archives :-) thanks again and appreciate the help.
  3. Billybob, thanks for the rapid responses and rolling out the welcome carpet! No label I can see on the rear sides. Do I need to open the cabinets to see the serial numbers? oh my!! Yes, felt tip Sharpie idea is precisely what I've done for years, but the removed paint areas are too large now I think unless I get a wider graffiti type sharpie -I'll look into that! Since the push in dust cap dome on passive radiator in back is not visible to front I think I should just stop worrying about it. Ok, I will further search the forum! Appreciation for your support!
  4. I own a pair of Forte 1 speakers since 1986 and continue to enjoy them to this day. I power them with my vintage 1976 Luxman M-2000 amplifier and a 1976 Dynaco PAT 4 preamp. Sounds fantastic for decades never needing repairs of any sort whatsoever. I have three questions regarding the Fortes I am hoping someone in the forum will be kind to answer: 1) Where are serial numbers located on the Fortes? 2) The black pain is wearing off in some spots, are there recommendations? or should I just leave them and not worry? 3) One rear passive radiator has its dust cap pushed in slightly...should I leave it and not worry? or fix it? Thank you, Newbie here in the forum, my name is Neal
