I'm interested because I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a "runt LaScala". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRH Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I estimate 28 between 1966 and 1971. Note that the records are hand-written, and that the runt was occasionally interspersed with the regular LaScala's. I think I saw all of the references. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 what are the overall dimensions of the Runt LaScala? Has a great visual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The one here is 21 3/4 H x 23 3/4 W x 24 1/2 D. They all use a 12" woofer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it is close to the full size version, are there measurements or comparisons to the LaScala? Why was a twelve inch woofer chosen rather than the fifteen, simply cost? Thanks.

karlson3 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 How tall is the mouth? - it looks roughly 14.5-15" high from that picture. Did it use a K22E? Did PWK leave a graph so we could compare to LB76? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speakmeister Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Thanks Jim! I have a pair that I need to restore. Someone did a bad rattle can job or two with gloss black. They have the full enclosed top like the black one Seti posted. Thanks Seti! The woofer is top loading and you pull the top off cabinet to access woofer. I'll try to get the serial numbers off the cabinets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The mouth height is 12 3/4". They used a K-22 of various suffixes. The earliest one used was an EV K-22. The whole point was to be as small as possible, therefore a 12" woofer. I suspect there are curves, but that would be an Easter egg hunt at this point.
