justinsweber Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Time to sell off the summer projects. These started out as beat up La Scala. Replaced some of the beat-up outer layer on the ply Dog house was re-glued for stiffness (PL90 used). Doghouse braces installed. Stock barrier strip removed and new binding posts added. Fasttrac Wood Tractrix horn installed with K55s. Eliptical tweeter installed with Eminence HF driver. Woofer replaced with new Eminence 15Cs. All rewired in silver plate hookup wire. ALK Cornscalawal CSW450 (2nd order on bass sec) installed. Rear of LS had 1/2" added and recess for top-hat cover with modern binding posts installed. La Scalas lacquered in deep walnut. Front of speaker and top-hat cover in back Lacquer. Buit 2 dollies custom for the LS, with rails that do not interfere with LS bass horn. These sound simply amazing. I have $1800 in parts and labor into them and looking to get that much out of them. I can ship via road freight without much issue, typically $300 to middle of the county and $500 to the east cost. Restored/upgraded La Scalas $1800 Justin 323--868-9722 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 1 hour ago, CECAA850 said: Interesting braces. They look like Fasttrac (Fastlane) braces that are no longer available according to the web site. Maybe Justin has the correct dims for fabrication. I had heard exact fitting was difficult due to small variations in LS builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinsweber Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Thanks for all the kind words. I took this summer to going back to modifying klipsch speakers. I love what they represent, so it was a bit of R&R for me. I had the braces for some time from dave. There are pretty interesting as they not require as many trial fits... Basically just sand one side down till it wedges in there and you're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
