garyeanderson Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I picked these empty Heresy cabs up a couple years ago 2015, I am guessing that I may not get around to filling them up any time soon and maybe it's time for some one else to use them. They are from 1981, (131 W 116 and 131 W 119). The tags on the back were missing when I got them, they are red oak, I don't know if they were oiled or lacquered. When I got them they had already been refinished once already, the finish at the time (not oil) was very dark and ugly so I sanded the old finish off and re-applied a clear polyurethane finish. The original finish had been removed long ago. I also made a pair of slant risers for them from Brazilian Cherry, to me, is a nice contrast between the Red Oak. I used the holes from the original risers as to not do damage to the bottoms. The original backs are included and that is all (I repeat these are EMPTY). I am not sure on an asking price, If you stop by and buy a pair of Klipschorns, Lascalas or Cornwalls they are yours, if you just want the Heresys , how does $100 sound?

BamaMike Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 $100 seems fair. They look good. I bought a pair of empty cabs unrestored for $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hi Gary, That seems like a fair price, I don’t need them but it seems fair. If you know, how did they come to be empty? I forget. Is that an Elan and does it run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are really nice plywood motorborad with lumbercore sides. I could not buy the materials for that kind of money so being weak, the owner helped me carry them out to my truck (they road home in the front seat, one with the seat belt on. That Elan in the profile picture is back to the top of the project list, still not running but I do have an earlier Series 2 that does. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 pair of Klipschorns and am currently using only two (pair). I ran oat of room and corners, I had two pair in in the livingroom stackd for a while but that was moving the walls a bit too much The more you buy the less I save, probably a bit more than a few Bens though. I guess that most of my stuff is cosmetically challenged ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a nice 10 minute talk yesterday and I thought that veloceleste idea of trying to install some h2 components in them might not work out so well, my original plan was to get the H3 kits and try and fit them. In the end I jus parked them in the corner. I was looking for some other pictures I had and I couldn't find them but I did find this one of the downstairs corner with a stacked pair of Klipchorn bass bins with the Cornwall in front. That is one of Cornwall's that is available, the Khorn bass bin (KD-FR with birch front) on top is also available along with some tops that I built. I still have a bit of work to do on them like get the bass bins outside and lacquer the fronts of the khorns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me; I have no intent to hijack your thread, but that might be the nicest red oak finish I've ever seen. Is the prominent grain a remnant of the first "dark" refinish, or did you sand down to bare wood and let the poly do its magic all alone? Can you be more specific about how you achieved it?

As I related before they were urethaned before and the satin finish just looked awful. I still have some pictures on another computer that is not connected to the internet. Anyway they look very nice now in the picture and in person. I took down the old finish to bare wood, I believe that the had been sanded before I had got them, luckily the fancy veneered plywood that Klipsch use had some thickness. If I remember right, they are labeled HOO on the tags, that may have been why that looked s dark (urethane over a dirty oiled oak finish?). I would like someone to populate them and enjoy them, I had my fun refinishing and making the slant risers, It's time to move then along... Oh yea, I think I used a spar urethane varnish for the finish and sprayed it on, I may have thinned it with acetone but I don't really remember for sure, I do remember I sprayed them on a cold day (it was in the low 40's in direct sun) in December I believe . Thanks for the complement Edgar, sometime you get lucky, I think I only had one small run that is sometime hard to find... Gary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
