Klipsch Cornwall 1?

[mustang_flht]

Hi,

 

The value is written on the capacitor, here Klipsch, but I don't have a closer picture

 

 

 

 

 

Here 3.3µF on a Famous Jantzen Superior Zcap

Will the existing capacitors have their value on the side of them? Or will I need to open them up to see the values? 

 

other example >>> 2MFD = 2µF on grey klipsch original métal box capacitor and 15µF on White Sonicap

 

 

And other example >>> 2µF on grey klipsch original métal box capacitor

Loosen and retighten all the connections on the buss bar. If they are sitting on smooth hard surface use furniture gripers on the bottom. I would recommend Crites kit for update on crossovers. I dont think Cornwall 1s had removable grills so that may have been updated. The woofers may not match but are ok. Make sure all drivers work by putting towel in mid horn to hear tweeters and cover tweeters to make sure mid driver works. Replace gasket on back panel if it looks bad.

Gaskets on back panels? I will look but when I took the back off, I didn't notice a gasket.

Got a pair of 1’s myself and they’re going to become real special to you I’d bet. H.H. Scott electronics mate well.

I've just acquired a pair of '78 (S) Cornwalls.  What is the batting material used inside the cabinet?  The back cover doesn't appear to ever have had a gasket and I wonder how necessary one would have been?

The batting lining the cabinet is likely intended to reduce cabinet vibration. 
 

Air, like water and electricity, takes the path of least resistance. With the large port on the front of the Cornwall’s a gasket around the rear access panel wouldn’t make much difference. Air would exit through a wide open port, not squeeze through tiny gaps around the rear panel.

I have a klipsh cornall I, what kind of amplifier should I use?

[Dr Morbius]

I have Cornwalls and I’m extremely happy using an HH Scott 299C  Stereomaster tube amp. Had it rebuilt of course but now I have another 40 years of listening. My Scott was rebuilt by Craig at NOSvalves.com, he’s excellent at redoing them.

[Limberpine]

I still have thee and have done nothing to them, because when I inspected the caps I saw no signs of leakage.

A decent tube amp will have those Cornwalls singing!
