playntheblues Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 Davewsc, very nice horns. I will wait a week or two. I just brought the horns home this morning and the cain grill cloth is stained bad on one of the horns and needs to be replaced. Some of the trim venear (spelling?) is cracked off. Next week end I will start replacing or filling the wood and then sanding. Order black grill cloth (not looking forward to that job . I am thinking of a light black stain so the grain will show through. Don't think I have a whole lot of options. I will borrow my friends digital camera this week and post pictures. Buy the way my serial numbers are KBBR - 6506683, 6506685. I have been trying to find out when these horns were built. After calling Steve at Klipsch he thought that the third digit the 0 was proably a g or d, but it is clearly a 7 digit number. My crossovers are ak 2's does anybody have an idea as to the year of these Khorns? Thanks Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davewsc Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Playntheblues, those numbers don't make any sense to me. Here is a listing of the date codes (serial numbers) format: KLIPSCH S/N FORMATS DATES DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE 1946-1947 ### 001 (ending #021) 1948-1961 #### 0121 (starting #0121) 1962-1983 ##letter#### 20Y1234 1984-1989(?)

playntheblues Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 Davewsc, I understand I have that page for the Klipsch serial numbers. But I assure you those are the numbers and they skip a number as well! The cross overs are AK-2's and Paul Park was the guy who inspected them I guess I will call Klipsch again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
