zynmaster Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 i recently bought the system and the serial number doesn't match up with the charts i've seen. there;s an extra letter/number in front of the k. the serial number is ok225 and ok224. not sure if the first letter/number is an "o" or a "0". any help would be appreciated. my best guess is 1972 because of the k but i haven't seen any other examples of the first character being there.

zynmaster Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 thanks that's what i was thinking but the first character just threw me off. i appreciate the response. do the early ones have any more value? i'm gonna list these for sale. more speakers than i need and i just got them because of the deal i got. you'd all hate me if you knew what i paid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonroeJett Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi, I just inherited four my farther-in-law a pair of perfect-working, 1972 Belle Klipsch speakers. What are they worth? Changed color scheme from dark to lighter brown in 1988 under supervision of a Mr. Klipsch upon his visit to Albuquerque, NM. Type=BKWO. Serial#s = ON817, and ON818. I can;t get photos to attach. I look forward to your replies, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRH Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The leading character is a "zero". The first logbook entry is for 0J004 on Jan. 5, 1971. Later in January, 0J006 has the note: "First unit with Belle Klipsch label". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
