LOADEDTUNES

doing big bird in the back alley for the past 15 years not to mention the fact

brains all over the back wall like strawberry jam __________

There was someone down in general questions trying to unload some belles in the spokane area. If k-horns are to big then a belle would be the next step, not to sure if the wife would like scala's in her living room but you never know. Dale's just outside edmonton , he's got 4 klipschorns and a pair of LaScala's right now and dealing with sheltie dave on a belle . I'm sure he'd be intrested in your corns.

WOW !! Sorry to butt in here guys , but this is one of the most informative threads if read in awhile. Good job guys , keep it going . I realy don't understand this stuff but i to am trying , so what are the Hz ranges of a stock mid 80's k-horn . Bass driver from ___hz to ___hz mid range from ____hz to ___ hz tweeter from _____hz to ____ hz The mid range has the most info right ? so how broad is the mid range and can we change the midrange information by changeing horns and drivers to concentrate on this area ?

Hard to believe you would have to much trouble finding k-horns in western canada. Maybe finding them next door might be an issue but the west coast in general has plenty kicking around. During the oil boom of the 80's klipsch strong hold in edmonton alberta sold tons of heritage. Guys making money so fast they could'nt decide what to buy next. Calgary was'nt as strong but still had a dealer. I know we have board members in and around the edmonton area with lots of klipsch gear. I'm in summerland right now but will be leaving in a week. Are you right on the coast ?

Hey Burner , that was nasty !!

Anyone from here scoop them up ??

Hey backburner !! Where do you get all your picture files from ? Everytime you respond to a post you seem to have the right picture that goes with it . You must have a massive data base set up . Your not kelly's alter-ego are you ?

I got that four horseman cd at wall mart a few years back. Any music store should have it.

We did something close to the same in trade school , easy to make a project to demonstrate electricity. Watch you don't "zap " yourself . lol

I don't know how well broken in they were. I've also had the oppertunity to listen to a pair , truely amazing pretty well sums it up. Very room filling , almost like wearing headphones. BTW. Little too rich for most.

Want to try something real cool and trick looking with pine ? Ammonia distressing looks unreal on pine , but it's a bit dangerous for beginers to play with. Basicly you build a containment box ( air tight )to hold what your distressing , put in an open container of pure ammonia and close the container for about 24hrs. after removing the wood from the containment it must be allowed to gas off for a few days before the application of any top coats. The finish is a greyish wheathered look that can be topcoated or spraystained with a alcohol base spray stain. This is all the rage in the expensive cabinet market right now .

Olny job more degrading would have to be burning stick all day.

Tell you what rick , these canadian boys are so tough its not even funny. He did'nt give a rats *** about hanging 4 stories off the ground by a thin rope. These guy's rig themselves to stay alive when working on roofs and expect to slip once and awhile . Personaly i find it kind of un-nerving but these young men think nothing of it.

Hey joe !! My background is also from HVAC , mostly dealing with larger building though. Hot deck / cold deck with low presure steam and lithium bromide cooling. These condo units all have forced air heating ( natural gas ) plus they all have natural gas fireplaces. Talk about huge ducting in this place.

We never go up in the fog, dew, rain or fog. ---------------- Picture was taken from one of my workers across the street at our pre-fab yard. He was amazed that a pencil pusher like me had the guts to go up there and retrieve the safety harness, and get a first hand account of the conditions. This building is going up in north western canada , these boys work in a lot worse condition than this. Problem was the fog or due was freezing to the waxy surface of the OSB making the roof a skating rink. PS : Most of this building has gone up in minus 30c or colder , like to see some of you southern chaps handle swinging a hammer in that.

Myself and 2 other small investors.

Heres me at work . My latest project. Small man like figure in the top right on the roof ( thats me ), one of my guys went sliding down the roof today so i'm shutting things down due to poor weather conditions. Poor guy was dangling by a saftey line off the side of the building for 15 minutes before we even knew he was missing. BTW : This is not a poor picture , the fog is horrible today.

I know dale is part owner in a cabinet making shop and carves out some asounding stuff , but he's way up in western canada so that likly won't work for you. Where are you located ?

Last time i talked with dale he was getting the cages done in " black chrome plating " Now that i'd like to see.

www.tubesandmore.com Black basket is part # S-G296 $9.00 ft 21.60/yd

Why don't you ask that question on the altec lancing web forum ?

I still think that one of the nicest looking pair of dynaco mark III's is owned by one of our board members.

Chris : I got an E-mail bounced back from Dale a few days ago ? But i've got his phone #, I know craig talks with him once and awhile.

Those look way better than most store bought cables, thats for sure .
