Pretty, pretty, pretty.... we wannum Marty- @Rivernuggets is in Madison, send him a PM. There must be members in Milwaukee and Chicago area who could help. Good luck finding a volunteer. I suggest starting a thread asking about Milwaukee area forum members who might help. We could bump the heck out of it for a few days. Have you contacted the seller? With a PayPal deposit, he/she might hold them until you, or a forum member, can collect them, and/or, perhaps the seller would meet a forum member a reasonable distance from Milwaukee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C = Cornwall CD = Cornwall "decorator" with flush motor board and no grill BK = Belle Klipsch H = Heresy HD = Heresy "decorator" with flush motor board and no grill LS = La Scala KB = Klipschorn - Model Type B, "collared" KC = Klipschorn - Model Type C, no "collar" KD = Klipschorn - designer type (no grill, made through April 1987) IV. HERITAGE SPEAKER WOOD/FINISH CODES: 1. Until the late 70's-early 80's (and again in 2008 on Heritage models), customers could special order a number of exotic veneers. 2. It should be noted that until May, 2001 there were almost 100 different finish, grill cloth, and riser 'combinations' or variants that could be ordered for the Heresy’s and up to 75 versions of the Klipschorn. 3. In the mid-late 90's, Klipsch generally ceased most special order veneers and raw birch was also discontinued on most models, except Heresy-II's. 4. Material for raw birch is/was Georgia-Pacific cabinet/furniture grade 7 ply (5 inner standard grade plies and the two outer very-fine grade plies). 5. Risers for the Heritage series were originally optional, and there was a long base for horizontal placement of standard Cornwall's. 6. Heresy risers were generally "straight" until the late 1980's, and were still an option until the late 90's. In the late 1980's the "slant" style became the general standard. Slant risers appeared in the 1970's on Heresy-Is, but are not seen often. Currently the US version Heresy is shipped with slant riser, elsewhere in the world they can be ordered with or without the riser. 7. "Oiled" finish refers to the factory application of a high quality furniture grade wood oil that fills the pores of the wood and seals the finish. The type of oil is similar to a Watco "danish" or "rejuvenating" oil. Oiled finishes require a routine "oiling" with a light non-buildup type of furniture grade wood oil. 8. "Lacquer" refers to the application of one or two thin coats of a clear semi-gloss lacquer sprayed on the cabinet and motor board prior to installation of drivers. That lacquer was obtained from various vendors, and as of 2013, is a #40 sheen, semi-gloss lacquer from Valspar/OPEC. Lacquer finishes only require a routine wiping off with a clean dry cloth to maintain the finish. 9. For "Black Lacquer" finishes, the factory used a flat black lacquer primer, then #40 sheen black lacquer, with a clear #40 sheen to protect the black finish. 10. Generally, most veneered Heritage products had the rear panels/ sections sprayed with black lacquer primer. Starting in late 1983 and continuing to this day, the rear panels of the Heritage models are now sprayed with a coat of "textured" semi gloss, and a top coat of semi-gloss black. 11. An option to have raw birch stained was also used, but not often seen. The stain was usually applied by spraying, and the serial number stickers generally indicated this option. Example: H-WS would have been a Walnut stained Heresy made from "raw-birch". This option was more commonly seen on La Scala's.

Rivernuggets Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 In this thread @JBryan claims he fit Klipschorns, a good deal of Marantz gear, and a friend in his Rav4. I'm optimistic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 OK, I've contacted the seller to see if he could hold them until I could arrange something. Did a preliminary check on maybe flying out one-way and then doing a one-way van back to DC, but that would cost at least a grand and a couple of days of my life during a very busy time of the year. My work van has a third of a million miles on it and would not want to attempt to drive it round trip from the DC suburbs, so that's out. I'm going to reach out to Craters And Freighters on a quote for packing and shipping. They have a location in Milwaukee and they have a location just minutes from my house. Hey Rivernuggests, maybe if you are really bored, or want to see them up close, you can go over their to aid with the packing to make sure they don't screw it up.

Rivernuggets Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 @tidmack lives about 30 mins away from these Khorns. Maaaybe he could help if Craters/Freighters and I fall through. I'm able to run and get them tomorrow and possibly Tuesday. Hope you don't mind me raising your hand, Jeff! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS121996 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I'm about an hour from Milwaukee depending on where ( I made it to the Brewers stadium in just over an hour with game traffic). They will fit in my truck, storing will be a problem, I am out of room. But I can get them to NW Indiana if anyone there can hold them or move them farther east Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
