geezin'

And they have piston clearances of .012" and up. Try that in yer mini van. And flat tappets aren't really flat. They have about a 60 inch radius. I've built engines that have set 14 landspeed records and paid the bills doing it for decades.

hey Henry...flat tappet cams require break in. Racing or not.

What?

Giveaway?

Clean 'em up a little,replace missing woofer/s and play music. If anyone asks about the finish tell a story how they are from Lemmy's personal system or some such BS.

I don't care why what I like to hear sounds good to me. I don't measure music I listen to it.

Also do I have to have a farcebook account? I don't and do not want one.

If I decide to buy them I'll do the Rat Rod route with anything that needs replacement/repair other than the cabinets. In fact unless they've got real problems I'll just listen to them for awhile and see what I like/don't like. They have soul and I am single. It'd be cool to have something that looks that aged/rough and sounds so good. I've got the class D bug so it would suit that just fine. Be a 4 hour round trip. Hmmmmm.....Can I pay with PayPal w/o an account?

Thinking about it....

Gone already.

Do you cut the veneer for every side or try to run a continuous piece? I'm thinking about doing the Polk 5b I got for $25 as practice for later.

Pot should be done 'bout now. Time to grab a Padrón and head for the rocking chair. Later ladies and gents....

Gotta remember to pick up that lottery ticket after work.

Hey Schu when they're all settled in and tuned could ya post a video of them playing something complex and detailed? It's not likely I'll ever own something like that but I'd love to hear them anyways.

They're more than just new Klipschorns.

Dood! Spoiler dammit.

Sure seems like it. They've become quite nice. Image well more bass than I thought could come from a smaller speaker and pretty detailed. Can't complain for the price. I'm going to use them for practice. Rebuilding the crossovers and veneering the cabinets 'cause it's vinyl...eeewwwwww.

Bad connection somewhere corrected by accident. I never discount a freebie. A gift from the universe.

That's so sad. They are tasked with caring for your property. Yet when they fail you it's as if there's no consequence.

"stupid is as stupid does......"

I love a quick and easy fix that's free!

I picked up a pair of Polk Audi Monitor 5b for $25. They're skinned in vinyl and have a couple dings but sound great. I think I'll be veneering them myself for practice. if I don't do a great job they'll still sound good on my bedroom system anyways so what the hell? Y knot?

Monitor 5b. A few dings in the vinyl but otherwise sound condition. More I listen to them the more I like them. They seem to have awakened from their sleep over a few days of use. Think I'm going to use them for practice and veneer the cabinets and maybe recover the grilles even though the grilles are fine. Here is a photo of one of 'em. Other is same.

Me? Keyser WV. For now. Looking for a house but the market sucks if you're not wealthy.

Yeah it's some guy in a state facility who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. That's genuine BSC there. It's what years on the street without care does to you.
