ikecarumba Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 An auction ad will soon be posted on eBay for my 1948 Klipschorn but I'd appreciate any input or information that members may have, especially concerning the 'special' finish. I'd like to know if anyone has seen this particular style with built in corner walls (two screwed on plywood panels) and a curved front grill with a 'bug screen' grill cloth. I would have posted more and better images but had no luck. I will email all the photos I took today if anyone is interested. Take a look at the photo of the tag, it was signed 'insp. by PWK 3 November 1948'. If anyone has any idea of the value of this rare item please let me know. Any reasonable offers from members would be considered of course. I am in San Francisco if any locals would like to take a look in person. Thanks very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebse2a3 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I would suggest if you have striped the original drivers from this unit to sale separately that you reconsider keeping it original/complete which is were the real value for a collector will be found. miketn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanksjim1 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Do you have the original drivers? Do you know if they work? Please list any identifying numbers on them. edit: from the "ask the Historian" parallel thread: "(EV T-350) K-77 tweeter and the (Atlas) K55-V midrange driver" Any idea was woofer is in there? Could make a difference in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikecarumba Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Unfortunately the only original driver is the 15" PM Magnavox woofer. The tweeter was a K-77 / EV T-35 and the mid driver was an Atlas K-55-V which I still have (the K-55-V is on auction at the moment on eBay along with lots of other stuff, I'm cleaning out the basement). There's a tag on the woofer, I tried to post an image but failed because of the "max total size 2 MB" limit. I reduced the image size but still no go. The tag reads: Sample No. 15-606 Model No. 15F3236 Field PM Cone HL Resonance 45 C.P.S. Voice Coil D.C. 9.3 Ohms The Magnavox Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
