Guest David H Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I recently bid on a pair of KHorn Bass bins with original K-33, and to my surprise was the only bidder. $199 They are in surprisingly good condition other than the front facia. They are missing the top end no mid horn, tweeters, or crossover. (Yeahhh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Looks like I have a home for a pair of my new Fastrac K's, I need to find some K-55's, and think I will try the Selenium D-220ti tweeters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Sweet deal, and a perfect use for them. Have you decided how far to go fixing them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyeanderson Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi Dave Great score. I like following along on your builds but I have dialup connection and all of the projects I see on this forum have pictures that are half a meg or larger. It kind of sucks to have to take a 10 minute break to load 2 photos just to see some glue bottle. I am not trying to be a jerk, I just am. Anyway they look similar to my $500 beaters that I got in July. But mine are playing as I type this. I was thinking of replacing the one side with the woofer door (two layers of delamination of the Baltic birch) and then laminating either 1/4 or 1/8 inch piece of hardwood plywood to the fronts. The ¾-inch fronts are solid but the corners are beat up from being dragged across the pavement. The tops are junk but a sheet of ¾-hardwood ply would take care of that problem. This may be a winter project and I would enjoy seeing what you are doing with your new project. Thanks again for the entertainment and inspiration that you provide with your builds and rebuilds.

It kind of sucks to have to take a 10 minute break to load 2 photos just to see some glue bottle. I am not trying to be a jerk, I just am. Join the club. I mean, I don't have trouble loading pictures (and I happen to have a massive collection of glue bottle shots), but I'm a jerk. Come by it honestly, though. BTW, dial-up sucks, big time. My mother-in-law has it, and I wanna kill myself every time I try to show her something on her computer. IMHO, NOT a good way to save money, IF you use a computer fairly often and value your time...Oh, and that colonial lamp is seriously impressive. Ever had it appraised?

Guest David H Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I am excited to get started on my KHorns, but have had a few orn projects to catch up on. Here is one of the issues I saw with the large format offset to one side tractrix horns, I did not want to eliminate or move the factory top hat brace so I built the "C" brace to install in it's place.

MechMan Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Cool idea with that C brace. I can't wait to see the rest of the build. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Could use some mearurements from KHorn owners please. Here are the measurements I need marked A,B,C Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 If no one replies sooner I'll measure these for you tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Dave, My drawing says: A = 31.0 In. B = 12.5 In. C = 28.0 In. C - B should equal A / 2 and it does, so I think it's correct. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Dave, My 1980 KB-WO's are: A = 31 5/16" B = 12 1/16" C = 27 1/2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg928gts Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Could use some mearurements from KHorn owners please. Here are the measurements I need marked A,B,C Thanks, Dave The "C" measurement it to a rounded off corner. What you really want to know is what the measurement would be if it went to a point in the corner, cut it that size and then round it off.

Greg I thought about that, but decided to flat cut the rear like the lower shelf. I am giving serious consideration to enclosing the backs.
