seti Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 []I stumbled upon a website with a Klipsch history timeline but had never heard of a Klipsch turntable Does anyone have a picture? 1949 Klipsch Rebel and Klipsch turntable introduced.

edwinr Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I never knew Klipsch had a turntable. Maybe they'll re-release it with the other Heritage updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmboydoug Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Dig this... Klipsch Phono Cartridge.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 That is a really cool brochure thanks for posting[<)] Since Hiroaki Hibino designed the cartridge I would guess that he would have built the turntable for Klipsch as well. I wish all of these pdf files and images were all in one archive perhaps I'll start collecting and then post them on a web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BobG Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Klipsch also sold a group of stereo reel to reel recordings. Mastering engineer was John Eargle I believe I saw a Klipsch turntable at the museum but not on display. There are a lot of items in the basement and in closets and stored elsewhere. I was very interested in the casting molds for the brass wheels of the steam locomotive PWK built from scratch. Miniature scale but fully functional.

DRBILL Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I happened to be visiting the lab the day Paul tested the little bronze locomotive with compressed air. It ran backward, but it was an easy fix. I was amazed that he had built it. By his own admission he was a klutz at "industrial arts". I once asked him if he would like to join a work party at the church to help releather the pipe organ. He laughed and offered to send somebody. He said that if he touched it, it would never play again! (He did come and watch, picked up and examined every part, and asked a million questions!) Another aspect of his genius was his ability to surround himself with stunning craftsmen who could take an idea and run with it. I seem to recall that the Klipsch Cartridge required some sort of transformer. I may have some information in a box in storage. I'll see. It is an excuse to drag that stuff out. The Eargle recordings were significant. Klipsch technology had raced far ahead of practicality. What did you listen to on your Klipschorns?!
