Not sure what he means by "They meet or exceed all factory specs." Don't know if they had specs back then and the caps look pretty old.

Edroom Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 is there anything original about that 1948 Khorn? All the drivers are newer, the top "box" is just a sheet of plywood with the drivers poorly screwed into... too bad the wooden horn is gone, that would have been worth something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
