KlipschLover368 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I am in need of an honest, professional opinion. I have been tasked with selling my mother-in-law's Klipsch speakers. Her husband bought them in 1970 and was the only owner. attached are some of the scant pics I collected while visiting her in Texas. she heard him playing fine about 5 years before he passed 2 years ago. Could you estimate their approximate selling range? They appear to be in great condition for such antiques. Saw a few slightly unkempt wires that were not tie-wrapped in the back, but I don't think anything was modified by him before he passed, but reportedly he always babied them. I have a couple pics of the back, but I think1 MB is my limit. And lastly, please tell me is the wood mahogany, cherry or walnut? Thank you so much in advance for your expertise.

wuzzzer Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I don’t see any pics so can’t comment on the condition or finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 To see previous and current transactions, I would recommend monitoring https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/forum/63-garage-sale/, as well as eBay. We have mid-50's stock Khorns playing in our visitors Center. They always impress, so 1969 should be, at the least, "respectable". Considering that new ones are $18,000, I wouldn't think they should go for less than $2000 each, assuming they are in good condition. But current value is not my forte (pun intended).

KlipschLover368 Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Thank you JRH, not sure why the pics didin't send but I will try again to attach. They re heavily compressed because 2MB isn't much... Third attempt maybe a zip file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlipschLover368 Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 What photo format do you guys use on this forum? JPG? PNG? HEIC? Zipped file? I can't seem to get my Klipschorn photos uploaded even at 1 MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlipschLover368 Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 To follow up and put this question of age and worth to bed, I will mention the documentation and serial number suggest 1970 (serial number 3H464), but both tops have the very cool pie-shaped "PWK" logo seal on the front right, which I thought were only on the 1969 model. What set do I have here, gentlemen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 These are walnut oiled. The pie-shaped logo was used from the early 60's until the early 70's. I don't have a solid confirmation of the latter date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
