ryhood Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I got a pair of old brown painted La Scalas and they have a label on the back filled in by hand of Model LSBR and serial #s 4N433 and 4N434. They sound fine. Can anyone tell me when they were made or any other information? They seem pretty old. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Those are Raw Birch La Scala's manufactured in 1975. They should have the K-77-V tweeter driver, K-55-V Squawker driver and a K33 woofer. They probably also have the AA networks. Where did you get them and are you selling them?

ryhood Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 I got them from E-bay this summer to try and build tube system. No, I'm not selling them yet. I'm not sure if I should get rid of the brown paint, but if they are raw birch plywood, maybe I should strip them. I also got a pair of raw birch cornwalls from the late 70s and maybe I could match them. Thanks for the information and the interest. I'll come here first when I get ready to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Mine were a disaster when I got them but Q-Man (another board member and cabinet maker) refinished mine for me a couple of months ago. He stripped them (they were lacquered), sanded them smooth, filled in the gouges and chipped veneer with hard maple and then stained them with a Golden Oak. He then applied a couple of coats of lacquer. I am attaching a picture of them. You will need to click on the LS8.jpeg attachment at the bottom of this post...

tuber Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 A tube amp will really make those babys sing. I built an 811-10 using Eric Barbour"s design published in Glass Audio and upgdaded in Vacume Tube Valley. I'm in love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
