1986 Forte 1


Recommended Posts

Since I lost my Heresey's to my ex, I have been looking to aquire a set of Fortes. Well, I got them, although as a project! So I need a schematic or some drawing that shows Klipsch's defined Pos and Neg terminals on the drivers. The K-75 tweeters are marked, the woofers have been replaced with a butyl surround Pioneer (their hi-end model) (I know, I will buy real K-23 replacements when my money cup refills) and I did buy two pair of K-53-K /K-701 horns, but they are not marked with polarity. My input panels are round, circa 1986, and the wiring, after I traced it all out and drew diagrams, are White/Red and White/Black with standard flag terminals. If there is already a post out there, please just point me at it!

Also, I need to rebuild the grill panels, they are gone! Does anyone have a drawing of the main grill cutout pattern? I will build the new ones from 3/4" MDF or similar material and apply the best cloth I can find, but matching the exact Klipsch cutout would be nice.

Thanks in advance!

Hi and thanks for the thought. I called them and Shazam! I now have a schematic, and even spent some money on new tweeters. But no grills8.gif8.gif . I guess I will have to either wait until a good set comes along for sale or try and be creative.
