  1. I am surprised this is still for sale! I have a Fisher 500C connected to my LaScala's ! It is a great tube amp!
  2. Please contact me via a PM. I have a router template for a Cornwall motor board. Jerry
  3. I was so excited to open the boxes when I got home, I just sat the amp and pre on speakers, grabbed some cables. Jimjimbo provided some Emotiva cables that are now connecting my devices. Jerry
  4. When my Fisher 500C quit working last year, I began a search for a replacement tube amp. I was contacted by several Forum members with suggestions and some with equipment they would sell me. Jimjimbo was instrumental in my acquiring my new amp and preamp. Without his help, I would never have found this great equipment on my own. McIntosh MX110Z and a McIntosh 275, a match made in audio heaven.
  5. My first tube amp was a Fisher 500C. Great sound! Outputs for 2 sets of speakers and a center channel. I have a friend with both a Fisher 500 and a Scott 299C, they both sound great! No bad choice here. jerry
  6. @Metallo Recently I purchased an MC275 and a vintage MX110Z to drive my Cornwalls. The result was magical! My Cornwalls never sounded so good. I have a friend with an MC240 and a C22, also a spectacular pairing. Speak withe the guys at AudioClassics.com. They can give you the advice you seek. Good Luck, Jerry
  7. I thought forum rules for Garage Sale forum was no discussion RE: price. If you want to talk price, do it with a PM.
  8. My Fisher 500C has failed and I am in need of a replacement while I find a Technician that can repair the Fisher. I am open to suggestions. Please PM if you have a tube amp for sale or a suggestion for a place East of the Mississippi that can repair my machine. Jerry Atlanta, GA
  9. When I removed the access panel on my LSI's, They were gasketed and screwed. (bought from the original owner who claimed that they were completely original) I jumped to the conclusion that all LaScala's were constructed similarly.
  10. The OP's photo shows a new piece of plywood has replaced the original bottom panel. An original bottom has a lip, all the way around the opening that forms a surface for a gasket and a place for the screws to attach the "dog house" door to the bottom panel.
  11. This pic doesn't look like my LaScala. Mine have a removable panel that provides access to the Woofer.
  12. And a Happy April Fools Day to you @jimjimbo
  13. I have been a TurboTax user for more than 20 years, most of those years on my MacBook Pro. Great software!! Jerry

    Christmas Dinner

    Listening to Sirius XM channel 27, Deep Tracks, wrapping packages and getting ready to put some steaks on the grill later today. Merry Christmas to all. jerry
  15. @jimjimboSorry I was so slow to look! Congrats on the sale. All is well at my house. Happy Thanksgiving wishes to you and yours!
  16. @oldtimer I believe I posited a question to start the thread, not a premise I believe the above is a valid premise. From my Cambridge English dictionary......" humanity noun (KINDNESS) C2 [ U ] understanding and kindness toward other people. I am not rejecting the voices of reason, I ask where they are.
  17. Our humanity is in question if good people sit by and do nothing. As an example, there are now and always have been bad cops. But the good out number the bad by huge percentages. Yet there are places in this country that are serious about dismantling their police forces. Where are the voices of the rational leaders in these communities?
  18. Friend of mine in Texas bought the 1953 Khorn for $1500 today. He has bid in on the other Khorn as well.
  19. Earlier this week I spent the day in the Hospital. The reason is not important, but the experience has been profound for me. Atlanta's Emory Hospital is a highly rated care facility. They have provided care for the indigent and Presidents. (in fact last fall I spent time there with President Carter and Roselyn when he was receiving brain cancer treatment, an amazing human being) Today was different though. In a room with 8 very sick people, I realized I was looking into the eyes of the dying, yet they hold tight to the hope that this treatment will save them. In them I saw my moms heroic losing battle with cancer. I saw my Dad, nearing his 95 birthday, alone in a nursing home, isolated from his family by COVID 19. We talk, but I can't put my arms around him, and tell him I love him. I saw a caring and compassionate group of caregivers that did not judge anyone by skin color, only their needs. A very gaunt Black man was helped into the room by his caring daughter and was seated next to me. We made eye contact and he greeted me with "Happy Father's Day". A special type of man! It is not a perfect world. Hateful people of all races continue to shoot, kill and loot on the streets of Atlanta, Chicago, New York, LA, Houston.............. But most of us have not lost our humanity. It's just that the ones that have seem to scream the loudest. Please engage with those around you. You may never know the difference you can make in one persons life.. Jerry I am not a country music fan, but in the 70's a College friend introduced me to John Prine. I remain a fan. This song has always been special, but is more meaningful today than ever.
  20. Certainly out of my budget, but look quite nicely preserved for their age.

    Bob Dylan

    Traveling last Friday listening to Sirius radio and heard the new Bob Dylan release. I would not claim to be an avid fan, but I do admire his creative genius. This is one that people will be trying to figure out for a long time.
  23. @david w. Thanks for the offer. I should have closed this thread many months ago when I acquired the K-42's i was in search of. Regards, Jerry
