Congrats! 5 years is way too long to wait. I got railroaded into a similar pair by another member just like you did. Still have them and still use them. Good Luck!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The La Scalas have left Hazeltucky and are now in Royal Oak. Chris is planning to collect them this afternoon. Time and weather permitting, I plan to have them on the deck and hooked up to one of my tiny chip amps and a Pono player so Chris can audition them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rplace Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Did you: "Giddy on over to Hazel Park, come on out and horse around"? Now I'm dating myself. Imagine my surprise a few years back when I visited Michigan and found DRC was torn down? Guess the track in HP is no longer as well. Not really my side of town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has been looking for five years, you did him a great service. Those are in much better shape than the one's I ended up with. Enjoyed every minute of bringing them back to life and still enjoy them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proliferation of legalized gambling pretty much killed horse racing. Seems the number of people who actually cared which horse won, was very small. The other yearly attraction was the circus, and we all know how well circuses are doing. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I went through my old posts here - and I got my last set in 2011....sold them the next year I believe. Since then I went through Magnepans, EV Sentry's, RF3's before I realized my true love... So, while the search has been around 5 years or so.... in truth - its been nearly 8.... If I had a larger house, I'm sure I'd be a speaker hoarder... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an inexpensive detached garage, usually open in the front, enclosed on the sides and rear and large poles like a telephone pole are used to hold up the roof. You keep your farm tractor and implements in there, maybe a long boat on its trailer, along with fencing and anything else that is large that you might have. The floor is typically dirt or gravel. We have one that looks like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escher Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Many thanks to DizRotus - the LaScala's are now safe at home! The work has begun to clean them up after 42 years of use and neglect. Lots of love is going into them now - and glue, wood, new drivers, crossovers... Not sure how I will finish them in the end... likely I'll fix all the laminate issues and paint them for the time being. Possibly veneer down the road if I want to experiment.. From the model / serial number (LS-BR, 10R195) these are Raw Birch, from 1977. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
