Frzninvt Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Now I know who I am bringing my Klipsch restoration projects too! Very nice work. My center La Scala needs sprucing up it's not in very bad shape just needs a general sanding and oil to match the KDBR mains. There is a guy in Champlain that has a single La Scala that was adorned like my outhouse Klipschorn's that I am certain he hasn't sold. He also has a JBL C-40 Harkness with the metal legs that would make a fantastic center. His business is Roger's Service Station gas and alot of other crap. He has a website called Roger's Borderwalk or something like that. I bought my Klipschorn's from him. I see a pair of KG4's on the local Craigslist but the guy is on crack because he is asking like $450 for them. There was also a guy selling an entire Klipsch system with a Sony receiver with KG 2.5's, KSC 1.1 some KSB 1.1's and Klipsch sub for $200 but the ad just expired. It was in Shelburne, VT There was a pair of Heresy Decorator's in Plattsburgh, NY recently but the asking price was too high at like $550.

bliss53 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 I may be moving to the green mountain state some time after June. My wife has applied for a job in Burlington and she has a good chance at it. If you can't wait to get your speakers in shape bring them down to southern NH and we can give them a once over. See the cornscala in the background of the last picture. Those got some chip repair and a sanding. They are waiting for oil finish, wax, gothover mid horns and gothover networks.

MechMan Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yes please post some pics, I love me some Teak as well. Bedroom set is all Teak as was all the finishes in our old C+C Can't wait to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss53 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 All done. Three coats of teak oil and a couple of coats of wax. This teak had a very course grain and it was very oily. The cutting required a slow and careful motion to limit tearout. The bare wood required a rub down with turpentine before sanding. I slurried the last oil coat and it did a nice job of filling the grain. The slurry involved the use of a synthetic 3m wool pad to rub out the last coat of oil, then wipe off the excess.

HudsonValleyNoah Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Pete, I am REALLY impressed. Wow, they look so much better than I could have imagined. Do they look as good in real life? Is there enough Teak veneer left to make good looking slant risers with? WOW. Noah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss53 Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Noah, Some small flaws that you will see if you look close but they look good. I was so happy to fnally get these done that I forgot about the risers. I should be able to build some. Were there different slants or should I match the pair I have? What nights are you home this week so I can drop them off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HudsonValleyNoah Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I replied to your email Pete - now I am going to want to sell all my other Heresy's! WOW WOW WOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechMan Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Awesome job man. That 2nd pic reminded me of the exact finish on our old sailer. Exactly what I would love to do to my decorators...[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 That's a darker, coarser grain than most teak I've seen, but I like it. Nice job on the finish job and lots of prep work. Did they arrive with a drool bib? Great work and congrats Noah! M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
