Shaun K Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Quote Vintage Audio Equipment. I am the original owner. It was originally purchased in 1977 while I was in the Air Force. It has run well for close to 40 years. I was stationed in Shreveport, Louisiana, and actually went to Hope, Arkansas to pick up the Klipsch speakers. I purchased them unfinished. I put a nice stain on them, and then proceeded to put 20 coats of Formby's Tung Oil on them, using steel wool between coats. There are a lot of memories in these speakers and the system as a whole. The enclosures have some wear on them as they have seen many places.CASH ONLY.Items for sale include the following.1 Pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers. Original purchase price of 650.00 in 1977 dollars.Kenwood KA-7100 DC Integrated AmplifierKenwood KT-7300 AM-FM Stereo TunerPioneer SG-9500 20 Band Graphic Equalizer Wish I could pick these up but I just bought a car yesterday, so I'm kinda broke http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/ele/5799190174.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I can't imagine that this price ($525) is for everything....but if it is, somebody better get in their car.... I had both of the Kenwood units at one time, and they are outstanding. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun K Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Against my better judgement I did email the guy a few days ago. He says there's someone in front of me, but if that falls through I'll get my chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem like a nice place so far, although I haven't been able to get out much to see it yet. We're very excited to do some camping here, once we get our travel trailer back. We're also only 9 hours from my inlaws cabin on a lake up in Manitoba (the main reason we moved out here). Seems like a long drive but it's much better than the 3-4 day trip it used to be from Oregon. I do miss the PNW but I still work for a Portland-based company, so I get to travel back there now and then. Looking forward to being in Seattle and Portland next month! Where did you live in Seattle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Actually lived closer to Olympia than Seattle. Small, very rural town called Yelm. Still own the house and property there..... Did the guy ever get back to you about the components and speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy never got back to me, but I'm going to look at another Heresy pair in raw birch tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun K Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Well those ended up selling, but I did pick up a pair of Heresy in raw birch from the original owner tonight. Can anyone help me decode the serial numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun K Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 36 minutes ago, Weber said: w = 81 Awesome, thanks. I also need to see about refinishing these, especially the chips on the edges (he was a musician who traveled around the midwest in the 80's, so the cabinets have some wear). Which is the better place to post questions, General Klipsch Info or Technical/Modifications? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Tech/Mods, lots of photos help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a refinish I'm not sure what they need yet...crossover upgrade might be a good idea but I should just spend some time with them first.
