DRBILL Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 It was '57 and I graduated from HS with high expectations. I immediately sent off for a Klipsch price list! DR BILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivendell61 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 A 'Deluxe' model ($773) in 2005 dollars would be $5253. So many of these historic documents have been posted here over the last few years--but the forum is very hard to search. It would be nice if Klipsch could save these things and create an 'Archive' location on the web site. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Taylor Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Cool, that was a lot of money back in '57, I guess about seven or eight thousand in today's money, maybe more. Don't forget you could buy a Ford or Chevrolet for under two grand back than. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBILL Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 I literally have stacks of old Klipsch documents. I would love to post them to the forum, but my computer skills aren't too hot. This copy was WAY too big to fit a screen. And help will be appreciated. My scanner is a HP 5470c if that helps. Windows XP. DR BILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivendell61 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I don't own a scanner (wish I did!) so can not help.... Regarding price: keep in mind (if I understand this correctly) in 1957 these were production speakers coming off a line. Now they are made to order.

The larger files take more time to download, but the quality is so much better and IMO worth it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Rex Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Wow, I am greatly surprised at how expensive those prices! Amazing! D-Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivendell61 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I agree with Good2Be-- Whatever you are doing -- keep it up: looks great. And re size, I also like the larger size-- (Better I have to figure out how to shrink a high quality file for printing--than have a lower quality file). Thanks for scanning, etc. Hope to see more when you get a chance... Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
