    Klipschorn Style 7 Question

    in Ask the Historian

    Posted

    Thanks! 

    You veterans are great at helping this newbie out!

    I hope the one I own is close.

    Actually my K-horn is labelled 175. However, every part of the unit is labelled 174(the  K5 horn is 169). According to Jim 174 and 175 were built side by side. My guess is Lloyd accidentally switched the labels at completion or shipping.

    Jim,

    I have a question about my crossover. It's not mounted on a board like others I have seen. Written in pencil on top of one of the coils it has a date of March 1949. The number 0 0 0 5 0 and the number 380. The S/N on the Klipschorn is 174. Do you have any info for this crossover or know what the numbers are in reference to.

    Thanks for your help with this and all the other questions you've answered,

    Who is the man in the photo on the home page for the museum (the one, on the lower left of the page, of the man holding a square to a K-horn)?

    Is that Lloyd McClellan? If not is there any info or are there any photos of him online?

     

     

    Thanks,

    Klipschorn #174/175

     I recently purchased Klipschorn number 175. Upon closer inspection I discovered that every part of the speaker is numbered 174. Jim helped me out and let me know that 174 and 175 were produced at the same time. So it looks like I have number 174 but it was labeled 175. Upon even closer inspection I found the signature in the attached image. Can anyone tell me who that signature belongs to. I also included other interesting photos.

     

    I've tried for over an hour to upload the pics to no avail. Guess I'll never know...lol

    The label on my K-horn says 175. However the unit is labeled 174 on the bottom and on the inside of access panel. The K-5 horn, which is labeled 168, also has the number 174 handwritten on the corner of the label. Jim said that 174 and 175 were constructed at the same time. It is obvious that my speaker is 174 but received the label for 175.

    Upon further inspection it appears that everything has the number 174 with the exception of the label itself which reads 175. I wonder if the other speaker is just the reverse.

    It really doesn't matter. I am very fortunate to have this speaker. Almost completely original. The capacitor and everything else  has been tested and is in good working order.

    It sounds amazing!

     

    Thanks Again!
