175 was shipped to Joe Minor at Berkeley Custom Electronics on 1/4/1950.  However, it was previously utilized in a PWK speech at the Dallas IRE meeting December 8-11, 1949.  It is mahogany and a style 7.

Jim,

I have received the Loudspeaker referred to in your post. The side panel is indeed labeled SN 175. However the very bottom of the speaker is labeled, in pencil,174. Also the K5 horn has the number 174  written on the lower corner of the label. Is there a reason that the SN would have been changed or is this a labeling error? Is there info available for 174? 

Thanks for all your help.

JRH,

 

Thank you for your time and the information. I spoke this morning with a previous owner. He believes that he may still have the Original Stephens p15 driver.

Thanks HDB,

The previous owner is sending the original paperwork that came with the speaker. Supposedly this contains the bill of sale.

Maybe that will clear up some things.

 

Thanks again for your time and attention!

 Hello,

I recently purchased this Klipschorn. From my research I was able to find out the production year and finish type. Can you help with the rest of the information? What is "Style 7" and what does the "34" in front of the finish code mean? Also, where do I turn to find out if there is more info. in the log book from that year. Also, at the bottom, is written "2 Feb.  50  W". Could this be when it was sold? Any information is greatly appreciated.  

 

 

Thanks,

Johnie
