Frzninvt Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I went to look at a pair of Klipschorn's today and noticed the bottom foot or so of the tail boards had been cut off. Most likely to accommodate some baseboard heaters. How much impact do they have on performance? I assume that they are there for a reason. That said are they there for structural integrity or a reflection of the bass wave. Seems to be a pain to replace them since I would need the dimensions of the missing section which I know are tapered and notched having had pairs in the past. One also has a small notch cut out of the top portion of the top hat which is disappointing. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Charles, i not sure what your saying. the tailboards come from the factory cut out for baseboards. are you saying that they are completely cut off 12" from the floor. i can measure a set here anytime for you.

Frzninvt Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Yes the previous owner cut the bottom foot or so of the tail boards off. He left the piece they attach to though. Not sure if I'll buy them it depends how much he will haggle down. They are 1964 models that he upgraded at some point to AK-3 functionality with the matching drivers.

Budman Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 you could tell him its gonna cost $1500 to buy a matching clear pie slice logo 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 I did mention those are made of unobtanium. I would carefully remove it and use the Jubilee pie slices I have. He is asking $2500 in store and on Craigslist. I might offer $1750 they are in a crowded building with lots of overpriced vintage gear in a place that is tough to get in and out of. The 13" of snow we got in the last two days doesn't help. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 maybe he will throw in that motorcycle thats attached to the left one looks like a set of heresy decorators up top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 It's a Ducati. He has a Denon DP-60L turntable and a Sansui 9090DB that he was using to feed them. A pair of black decorator Heresies as well. Really high asking prices for the gear.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John he had so much stuff piled around it I could only see the top portion of it I don't even know what model it was. It looked like a smaller on. Any idea if the sawed off tailboard impacts performance in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a easy fix. Just tack a peace of wood on the inside in a way that it would seal it to the wallSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 They do have the rubber seals that came with the AK-3 upgrade kit but they are just dangling since there is nothing to slide them onto at the bottom. I probably will just pass and stick with my La Scala's. I have had a couple of pairs of Klipschorn's in the past and I don't think I am going to be missing much other than some low end response but that is what my subwoofers are for.
