mustang guy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 These have some small problems, but overall they are very nice looking. I think they are a good buy at $2500. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipschorn-HiFi-Speaker-Pair-1978-Consecutive-Serial-Numbers-Vintage-Klipsch-/161978333649?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 They are nice, I'm thinking about it..... Question. Is it common to have the serials stamped in those two spots as shown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. Mine are newer and don't have the number stamped there...in either place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorm Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'd say 1800 at most. Makes me wonder where the laser logos are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Regarding the laser badges.....if I'm not mistaken, and after reading through a ton of threads about various badges, 1978 was the last year laser badges were affixed. However, it also seems that not all pairs of that year may have had laser badges, for one reason or another. These may have been produced late in 1978, and the laser badges were gone. Would that be a reasonable assumption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincymat Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Jim, If you're interested, I could take a look for you. I'm not that far away and have to be in Kentucky on Monday. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Mark, thanks very much for the offer but I think I'm going to hold off for the moment. Again appreciate your making that kind offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) You're welcome. I think there's another set listed on Craigslist in Central KY too. We both commented on those here in alerts earlier this week. It's sprouting Khorns in central KY this week.

jimjimbo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Only reason I'm holding off on these is that I'm trying to put together a deal on another pair that are as nice or better, a bit closer to me, and a whole lot cheaper..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincymat Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 OK, good luck. I want to get a set of Khorns this year but I'm not over paying because I know I'll go nuts upgrading them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be a reasonable assumption? You are exactly right. Klipsch didn't stop using the "laser" badges when the calendar hit a certain date, they stopped using them when they ran out of them. That happened sometime in 1978. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
