KT88 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Very strange...he made a scan of everything and now he is overloaded to copy these scans? „The Klipsch Museum asked for a copy, but because of a personal situation I was unable to provide them“ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom3 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 This smells very odd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry4841 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Really wanting to profit for those items if authentic. Shipping $130.22 for a package of papers! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grindstone Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Yes this feels odd if only because I cannot conceive of a reason that those don't already belong in Museum/JRH's hands--and for free. Does no one just do the right thing anymore? Rhetorical... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Looking at the other things he is selling, he doesn't strike me as hard core Klipsch guy. He just came across something at an estate sale and knows he has something of value. There is only one person I know of where these might have come from, that may not have wanted Klipsch to end up with them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 These khorn plans maybe the PWK drawings sent to licensed manufacturers of the khorn , there is yellowing showing the acidity of the paper , the paper is quite old and the paper can be dated - these plans may be copies of the Original plans which is not as valuable , however if these are the Original Khorn drawings which is very doubtful , then they are more valuable , in any case , chemical deterioration of the paper is visible , and unless these drawings are decontaminated , the paper will fall apart , so it is crucial to act rapidly before further deterioration destroys these drawings . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If they started with PK and Hunter doesn't have them, that means Valerie had them. She may have gifted them to someone who then passed. This is conjecture, I have no idea. At any rate, she was pretty bitter with Fred about where he was taking the company, and some of us heard that complaint first hand. There is more, but I can't share because of personal reasons, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Maybe seller has some provenance, which would be Interesting for a collector. Sorta necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 You need a chain of custody, maybe a letter or note. Man, don’t you guys watch Antiques Roadshow. To get that kind of money, he’s going to need more than, “I ended up with a folder full of stuff that used to belong to Paul Klipsch.” 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Evans Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 I would not buy them, because of the below seller’s statements that some forum members have posted concerns about too. “High-quality scans of all documents, (2 copies on thumb drives), and two prints of each of those scans on the appropriately sized archival paper. These are the only scans that exist of these documents. The Klipsch Museum asked for a copy, but because of a personal situation I was unable to provide them. I would hope the buyer will consider sending a set of scans and printouts to them, I had the second set made for that purpose.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yeah; seller just wants money ... and does not even want to provide Klipsch with a copy And; $113 to ship a $20 Express envelope? Question ... if "you" had these, would it not be the honorable thing to do to give these to the Klipsch museum? Ad-on ... send the seller a note to donate them to the Klipsch museum. Haha; maybe if enough of us do he will "rethink" it and do the right thing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
