herbsanti Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Thanks. Here are some pictures.. It looks like all in stock. Any recommendation to be upgrade? Is there anyway to change the front grill as removable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Those are newer than 1963 they would have had a vertical orientation, the tweeter would have been the chrome throat screw terminal 16ohm K-77 and they would have most likely had the Jensen P15LL K-33 woofers in them. The crossover network would have also had hand wound bobbinized coils those are most likely from the early 70's era. A close up of the label or the S/N stamped at the upper edge of the rear will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefor, pretty sure previous owner nailed/stapled them in as they sometimes warp a bit. As far as crossover goes ... replaced mine (early 80's) with new ones from Crites as advised by forum members. But; no difference at all, so make sure before you spend the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 they didn't make removable grills until 1975 M = 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbsanti Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 thanks..too much work I think I will just keep it as non-removable since its in perfect condition beside the missing PWK logo on one of the speaker (need to order on ebay?). I am the second owner of the speaker look like it was well taken cared.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbsanti Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Thanks guys for the responses.. now I need to decide which combo I need for my small living room :), Currently acquired the cornwall 1 (1974), my existing setup is KLF 30 with 20 and C7, the CF3 is on my bedroom, and currently chorus 1 and forte 1 at the garage. both chorus 1 and forte 1 are just sitting (not hook up).. I just received the crites T1 for my KLF 30 and a capacitor to upgrade the xovers. The 20's are still in stock. decision..decision.. The CF3 was driven by jungson class A amp (80w) with freya + as preamp.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbsanti Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Wow what a sound different!! comparing the KLF30 to stock cornwall 1, the cornwall is a lot of smoothness :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
