Yeah.  Been emailing him back and forth.  Based on that serial number and the pictures, which version K-55 is in there?  I just hate spending a wad of cash on something and then start changing things out.  The hardest part of building them is not coming up with a K-500 horn for the mid.

Where does the K-55-M fall into the range of the K-55's?  t seems that's an argumentative point for some.  lol

K-55-V made by Atlas was used in the Type A and AA crossovers, used a spring type connector.  There was a single year, maybe half-year where there was an improved K-55-V with soldered lug and had a dual phase plug.  This is considered the best sounding of the V's.

 

Then around 1983 (not sure) came the K-55-M, can't remember who made it, but not Atlas.  The M was considered an improvement over the V's and the 4500  to 6000 Hz dip in the V was smoothed out.  It has some problems with the dust cap in the back coming loose causing an audible vibration, but re-gluing is the cure.

 

Now there is a K-55-X.  I have no idea what that is except latest and greatest.
