Dylanl Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I am not sure KCM from the forum built them. He lives up the street from me. We then used his amps at my place and the difference was very noticable. I do not know how much my room affected the sound though. I think they ran close to 500.00 just for parts.

djk Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 "If the screws are stainless or brass, should be O.K. Yes? No?" If non-magnetic stainless they might be OK, but my method is much quicker and easier to make changes too. "What in the heck is a escutcheon pin?" A finishing nail with a round head. The ones I use are 1" 16ga brass and are available from local Ace hardware stores for about $6 a pound or $2 for a 2 oz package. http://amos.shop.com/amos/cc/pcd/9749573/prd/15083190/ccsyn/260 I use Goop for gluing parts down. The old Altec networks used Callins electrolytics, the best sounding available, better sounding than cheap Mylars with copperweld leads. Of course they will be dried out after 10+ years and better caps are available today. JBL networks of the same vintage used stacked film caps with hand soldered teflon lead wires in wax-potted paper tubes, they sound better than most inexpensive polypropylenes.
