    This was my 2nd set of H1's that I added Crites slanted risers on.

    nope , you cant , the masonite grille boards are toast -

     

    the only thing you can do is , very gently remove the cane fabric   , wash it in a bath tub with WOOLITE ,  let it dry , if it's better ,re-use it , buy some masonite board and redo 2 backing boards by outlining on a flat surface a template with the old boards    .

    Took my old ones down to the local High School wood shop.  They have a CNC router and they did new ones for me (for free!)

  3. I only have Vintage gear and have been partial to Harman Kardon and Kenwood.

    I'm currently driving my CW II's with an HK330b as a pre-amp and HK870 amp.  It sounds super good!

    I blew up the HK825 pre-amp a couple weeks ago, and when I get it back, it really better be good to replace the 330!

  4. I've done a few different sets and used spray cans that have turned out quite well.  The last set of Heresy (just sold them yesterday) I used a gloss black rather than satin.  I prefer the satin. My CW II's and my brother's LaScala's are satin rattle can as well.

  5. Finally got around to finishing up a (slightly) crude refurb of a pair of Heresy I rescued.  Turns out they were mismatched cabinets, likely used in a commercial setting.  Both tweeters were blown, the cabinets had been painted with a THICK black gooey industrial paint that took me days to strip, there were 1/2" holes (for bolts to hang from the ceiling?) on every side but the front! 
    Interesting thing; one is a HBR, the other HFB, but they were built within a couple weeks of each other.
    One of them has a "R" replacement woofer, but the rest seems all original components.

    I replaced the tweeter diaphragms and a few caps on the crossovers that were bulging.

    Now playing them in my office and they really sound pretty good.
    Had the cabinets been matched I may have put the effort in to try new veneer, but decided to try gloss black.

  6. Won this in an auction yesterday ($42).  I needed something to test speakers in my garage work area.  I've got the KR-3090 as well.  Great little receivers!

    I have a pair of corner horns from I think 1981/82. They are made of Brazilian Rosewood.

    Just stunning!

    I picked the wood panels with my deceased husband in 1982. We went to the factory in ARKANSAS. They said ours would be made the week after because they were finishing up Emmie Lou Harris LaScalas .😃

    I don’t know the value and would be interested if you do.

     

    Frieda, I would strongly suggest you post an ad in the Garage Sale section with pictures.  Also be sure to let people know city & state where these are located.
    If someone on the board doesn't buy them, we all love to share great finds with others.
    Good luck!

  8. What did you use for your crossover?  I have a pair of KSM-1's that I want to do a similar build with and am still searching for ideas.  I was thinking of going to Crites for a 2-way crossover (possibly from their Cornscala).  I will possibly build new cabs and use the original motor board.

    I just picked up a pretty beat up set of KP-301’s. I have completely disassembled them and am sanding/ filling the cabinets to get ready for paint. They have 2 different crossovers. Speaker A has a KP-3.0A crossover while Speaker B has a KP-3.0B crossover. Both speakers have the correct K-79k tweeters and K57-k squawkers. Speaker A has the original K-48k woofer while the other has a JBL E140-8, which I plan on replacing . Does anyone know the difference between these 2 crossovers and if they are compatible and which one is the correct one for this speaker. The serial #s are 90012825 and 8932325 respectively. Thank you in advance for any information. Cheers!

    Pics!!  We need pics! :)
