Best Wishes Bob! April 14th is the date you joined the form. Is it also your birthday? Much has happened on this date in history, Lincoln was shot, Titanic struck the iceberg, and more, but my memory is nearly taxed. Whether the anniversary of your birth and forum membership, or merely the latter, it's something positive to offset the baggage attached to the date. EDIT 4/14 @ 7:37 EDT I see from Happy Birthday posts in prior years your birthday was 4/13. I hope it was grand.

The CL advertiser said, "I assure you they are perfect so pic is irrelevant" I disagree. The seller is too busy, lazy, computer challenged, etc. to include a picture, but potential buyers are expected to incur the time and expense to see the speakers on the seller's assurance. Apparently the IRS needed more than his assurance that he owed no tax. My brother-in-law got a similar assurance from the mother of his mail order bride. He still regrets it.. An "irrelevant" photo would be better.

Robin Williams owes a lot to this man. He'll be missed.

I've got one that needs a diaphragm. It's yours (or anyone's) for $60 (shipping included). Send a PM if interested. Have you considered a pair of CT125s? That's the way I'd go, rather than an excellent K-77/T35 that is hard to find good parts for. Good luck whatever you do.

#!In the Pleistocene age I was a substiute teacher (while in college) at a high school with a student parking lot full of Ferraris, Maseratis, Corvettes and the like. I used to (still do) think it was irresponsible to send teeneagers to school in such cars. Someone (perhaps Richard Pryor) said, "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you have too much money." This is another way of delivering that message. This is the typical result of too much car for too little driver.

Are you certain it was a knockoff? Fostex made a version of its FE-103 for RS to sell as the 40-1197. Perhaps Crown made the mics for RS, but got tired of competing with itself . . . or RS might have been selling infringing knockoffs.

Dave- You're absolutely right about Rat Shack. I admit to being heartbroken when they took over the beloved Allied Radio, but I'm glad they're in the neighborhood when I need shrink tubing, a terminal, etc., urgently. Google "RS-40-1197" to see a long discontinued Rat Shack "full range" driver with a cult following.

Russ- Here's the link but no photos. http://dayton.craigslist.org/gms/3736490192.html EDIT: 4/12 @ 8:35Can't be more than an hour from Cincy. What's holdin' you back?

The prize is still available. The sheep will absolutely love ewe in those green dockers.

You had Realistic speakers? All I had was Zenith Circle O' Sound . . . the final word in medium-FI

Ahhh, the new guy has a sense of humor. We used to have a KK here in Beaumont, it was right at 10 minutes from the house. I'd pick up a hot dozen for the family and have 9 left by the time I got home. You made it home with nine? Great self control; seven was my best . . . . . and I live next door.

Much safer than a "pop"!

That was interesting. Thanks for posting the link. What's with all the white? Is that the Beverly Hills Hertz rental fleet? I haven't seen that much white in one place since I accidentally crashed a Klan meeting I'm sure the owners are proud, but the Rolls Royce is FUGLY and the owner of the Porsche Panamera did the impossible, it's now even more unattractive than when it left Deutschland. I agree with you about the Mercedes. That sounds great, but loud side-exit exhaust gets tiresome quickly. I used to set off car alarms as I drove by.

Who wouldn't love such a cute face?

It turns out I was incorrectly recalling two dogs. This is the photo I was looking for. . . . . now . . . where did I put those memory pills?

Hi Steve- Welcome to the forum and the slippery slope of Klipsch. Allow me to introduce you to some of the other recovering Klipsch hoarders. You'll have plenty of company at the meetings. The new guy usually brings donuts.

Does anyone recall the thread with a photo of two "wiener" dogs in buns? I thought it was in this classic thread, but it's not. I'd forgotten that Parrot was the OP.

The graffiti makes the billboard more powerful. It gets your attention better than the same billboard without the graffiti. I even wondered if the billboard was made with faux graffiti already in place. A quick Google search indicates otherwise. Apparently, the graffiti photo has been bouncing around the Internet for some time.

Unfortunately, many valuable forum members/friends have gone to their rewards. I'd name a few but then I'd forget about others equally missed.

Justin last visited on 9/11/12. He's at 14K+ posts. I don't think anyone beats Colter.

"i'm getting close to you Neil" I can feel your hot breath on my neck . . .I'll have to limp faster.

Almost every red-blooded male baby boomer had a crush on Annette. This is sad news.

Boxx- Michael Colter aka colterphoto1 is at 26K+ and still going. You might be thinking of him. If not, I don't know who you're thinking of.

Funny . . . but serious at the same time. This was sent to me by my 30 y.o. son in an email with the same subject line. I'll show it to my doc on Thursday at my annual physical. He'll get a kick out of it just before he gives me the finger . . . so to speak.
