cyclonecj Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 The way its covered, it looks like a corner-cornwall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 A little off topic, but I'm curious to the construction / appearance of the ShortHorns as I have never seen a pair and they are part of the original heritage... Does anyone have pictures or illustrations? Thanks... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnm Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Yike !! That Shorthorn went for U$5.00 ! If the buyer has a pair of khorns he could easily turn that puppy into a superb centre channel. I can't help feeling a little sorry for the seller in this case but I guess the lesson here is that if a seller defines their pool of potential customers too narrowly there exists the possibility of getting burned and badly so. It would be interesting to see if the seller actually goes through with the sale. Edit: I just checked the buyers history and he has recently purchased a pair of Lascala's. That shorty will fit right in ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 If the cabinet isn't empty, it's definately a score at $5. I have '59 Klipsch S.WO-15 Shorthorns and like them a lot. They are great companions to La Scalas and Khorns, and would be better if I could get all 6 into one room! If the new owner frequents this forum and performs a search under "shorthorn help", they will find the dimensions for the face frame (missing), and how it gets installed.

lynnm Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Actually - I think that that may be a cabinet only. Still a decent buy at $5.00 but not nearly as tasty as I originally thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptnBob Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 The problem is shipping may turn a $5 speaker cabinet into a $75 speaker cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 True But if it is a well constructed cabinet then even $100.00 would be money well spent even if the new owner simply uses it as a working template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRklipsch Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hi Guys, I am familiar with this cabinet. I had won the cabinet and the K-1000 horn from this seller late last year, with the understanding that I would pick up cabinet on my next trip to Houston. Well, do to many circumstances I never made that trip, so I have the horn and driver and told him to resell the case, as I was unsure when I could retrieve it. So, it is a cabinet only. The seller is a very honest and very understanding person and is probably glad that someone can use it, rather than just pitching it out. I have a pair of 1959 Shorthorns that several forum members helped me complete last fall. I have pictures of the finished product if anyone is interested. I bought these speakers from someone who never finished the kit, as a matter of fact the Walnut tops and speaker grills were still in the original packaging. If anyone needs dimensions, I know they are listed on the Forum, or I can find mine. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cornell Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Thats wild, imagine if they would make a Klipschorn kit today to sell! Regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 JR, I'd also be interested in seeing pictures of your shorthorns... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRklipsch Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hi, I apologize for the poor picture quality, but my camera doesn't take very clear pictures inside. Anyway, the cabinets are all original except the front frame. They had been assembled with full range drivers and the top horn cutouts covered. The previous owner had stopped construction after the base cabinet was complete. I purchased vintage crossovers, horns, and drivers from eBay and a forum member (Thanks). I use these for surround speakers that compliment my Walnut '79 K-Horns and Walnut '74 vertical horn Cornwall center channel. These speakers sound quite good.

lynnm Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 Thanks for the pics - Those are lovely. Is that the original grill cloth or a damned good reproduction ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
