Ziggurat Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 I was just having a good look at these K55's. Sadly the date stamps reveal thy are not a matched pair... One was built on November 29 1977, the other on November 29 1877. Same day, 100 years apart. Amazing. Hope the technology didn't change too much over that time. 🤣 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The blacksmith had to hammer forge the housing out of iron and the diaphragms were boiled sheep's bladder. Other than that, they are the same........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be funny, except for the bad experience I had with a sheep's bladder recently..... 😳 (And I'm not joking!) 🐑 🤣 Now what IS funny is the box that the K55v's came in, carefully labelled: It's totally given me a peach in sediment. I need therapy, pref single malt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggurat Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Pretty damn good condition too. Needs a bit of a dust wipe-off. Built like nothing else I've ever seen - superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
