JohnA Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Inspired by dtr20, I made a K700 lamp, of my own. I used a die-cast K700 I'd bought for a stillborn monitor project. I had a friend turn a pair of adapters for the horn's throat and then cannibalized an old lamp a GF gave me 40 years ago. The base is mahogany, bought in Chattanooga, planed in Huber Heights and finished with linseed oil at mi casa. I could not see the figure in the grain until after it was planed and had to work a little to show it in the finished lamp. The plaque was a gift from Hunter @JRH at the first pilgrimage, called "The Klipsch Fans Tour Of Hope". I kept it in my Klipsch file folder for over 20 years until i found this use for it! I hope Mr. Paul's soul gets a smile. 10 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 The K-700 makes for a nice sized lamp, nearly the same height as the ginger jar lamp that donated it's organs. It is now on my nightstand and the extra area of the base is usable for some of the stuff I usually keep there. A K-400, ..... hmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K700 is just about right for a lamp base, or even a pair, like for on both your speakers. The K400, on the other hand, is a bit of an odd too-big-for-the table, too-small-for-the-floor size, in my opinion anyway. Of course, depending on your decor, a K400-based lamp might fit right in, so I'm just thinking of the more likely situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just acquired one of those rotten things. It uses the same mags as a carbine I have. Kind of a New West sort of thing. Despise the trigger. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrating anything PWK related made her happy. Of the things that would have annoyed her pictures were not on the list.
