Randy, have You had the chance of comparing the different itterations of the K77?

Interesting question, i´d like to know too. I´m in round K77s club.

Welcome to this forum! Concerning that old Telefunken, You´re right, maybe somethings going on and it needs replacing or refurbishment (have You thought about that?). But more often than not it´s just dust; 40 years worth of dust, collecting on parts that heat up, like heatsinks ect., and that will give you that certain smell. If You want, just take of the cover off and give the entrails a good blast of canned air and clean out.

Guys have been talking about those badges recently. The originals are worth some money, 50 to 100 bucks, if i remember correctly. There is a guy on ebay who makes good copies. i have the link somewhere. Ed.: Found it! And the ebay link: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Klipsch-Speaker-Badge-Logo-Emblem-Pair-Vintage-Laser-Look-Free-Shipping-/174042152060

You´re welcome. Tell us of You findings.

This thread should help:

You´ll find the gakets in the squawkers, they are located between the driver and the horn. If You take a look at Bob Crites website you´ll find pictures.

Somebody go get them! I love mine!

Will You do any restoring?

Oh no, I already own several of his recordings. I was just asking, because sometimes there are small differences between different pressings. In this box you get music that didn't make it in to his regular albums and that up to that point were only aviable as bootlegs.

A penny everytime i thought that John...

Lately I´ve been picking up on some "loose threads" concerning my cd collection ( Alan Parsons Project, ELO, Queen, just to name a few...). Now – i´ve got a question, reaching out to fans of "The Boss" or anybody else who might know. I´ve been looking up Springsteens box "Tracks", it is aviable as printings from 1998, 2007 & 2013. Any big differences, is any out of the three "the one to get"? Prices on Amazon sure differ. This is about CDs, so i thought i´d post this here.

This forum member can' t answer anymore. Sancho recently passed away.

Thanks Randy, I was being in the general about this forum. Peel and stick is easy, more or less, I have done that before. I was talking about the quality craftsmanship I' m seeing all over this forum, the above table just for example.

That'll make a nice combo. Sometimes I get the impression that this is a carpenters forum. 😄 Which is great, I can always learn a few things, I just wish I had more tools and a dedicated DIY room.... Keep us informed of Your progress please.

Thanks for clarfication!

I´m just asking because i´m interested, "shot" as in "totally dead" or do Your K77s just sound bad? I think one of mine is missing some high frequencies, so it´s not "dead". I read that the magnets of these tweeters can loose strength over time and mine or over fourty years old now...

My condolences to the Kendall family.

Reminds me of SciFi film art – Bladerunner or Ghost In the Shell maybe.

William Shatner, turning a strong 90 today! Congratiulations!

Luckily that abomination didn´t run at the time. That wasn´t until some years later, and that was on – you guessed it – german cable television. Terrible, terrible...

I really dig those transformers costumes. When we got cable tv, back in the middle of the 80´s, this was one of the shows i watched, every weekend. I didn´t have much motivation to learn english before – that soon changed.

Something brand new! Sounds good, let´s hope they keep it up. I´ve seen the art of their cover on deviantart somewhere before, different paintings, but artstyle was the same. Interesting, thanks! Ed.: Found him, his name is Rodney Matthews and he drew quite a few covers.

This week i put sealing tape on the back-panels and i like to think that the bass has gotten a little tighter. Now i´m starting to plan on the refurbishment of the cabinets and grills. I want to empty the speakers and sand them down a little, then oil them again. I hope to get out some little dents i the process. I also want to fill the missing verneer parts that are missing on one speaker with repair-wax. I want to get rid of the velcro-pads that fix the grills to the cabinets and replace them with magnets. How do i want to do that? Straight forward, i could glue the magnets to the grill, drill some holes in the motorboards, put bolts through these holes and puty them over. I could also just drill "shallow" cavities into the boards, put either magnets or washers i there, putty and glue their counterparts on the grills. Somehow i like this option better than drill holes through the motorboard. What are Your opinions?
