colterphoto1 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 This is just a zoom from my big pano picture, but you can see the ageing, staining, and damage on my cane grilles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipsch4life Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Does anyone know of a door to door service that is reliable and careful with products such as this? It's 1100 miles round trip from Hot Springs to Abiline. KG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good2BHome Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 KG, A suggestion start a new thread asking for help. Maybe "Cornwalls Located in Abilene, KS: Need Help with Pickup"? You get the idea. Caveat: I ask the seller for pictures of the interiors (for future reference), but the seller declined to take pictures of the interiors, with the following reply: "The backs have never been off these speakers and I am not going to remove them...Sorry you will just havve to trust me.....greg" (a) The seller does not state that he is the original owner, ( they appear to be in an antique shop, i.e. he is reselling them © and most important: he never uses the word "Cornwall" in the listing. All of this gives me little confidence that he knows much about what he has. That can be an advantage, if you can see what you are getting before money changes hands. If these have the Jensen woofers in them they are worth more, but we don't know that or for that matter if the other drivers are original. IMHO if these go for $700 - $800 + reasonable shipping they're a bargain just because they are CWO Verticals. If they are all original drivers with Jensen woofers $1,600 or less is a bargain. Note: I don't post much, but have been around for quite awhile. I find you learn more by listening than talking. Good luck. If you get them I sure would love pictures of the interiors for my collection. MLW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 When I bought my 63 CW's I flew to Miami and rented a van to bring them safely home. If anyone ships Heritage speakers by ANY freight company, they deserve the pile of kindling they will receive. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipsch4life Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I've decided that if I win them I will definitely be driving over to get them. It's about 1100 miles roundtrip from Hot Springs. I don't know if they will both fit in my Mercedes E320, I will measure my car space before I leave. If not I may take my girlfriends SUV. I will take plenty of big bubble wrap and some large sheets of foam. I will be happy to post pictures if I get them. I'm sure I will have a lot of questions about these, so get ready!

dp1954 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 I hope you get these cornwalls... I don't believe they will fit in your mercedes though.... Not enough room between the door frame and the seats to squeeze them in... I've had several pairs and all of them fit in an explorer I had at the time with no problems. I tried to squeeze one pair in a ford crown vic but had the problem mentioned above.. You definitely don't want to put any scratches on them... One will fit in the trunk, but what to do with the other? Take the SUV. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleJ Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 How many of us on the Forum are going to bid on these? I don't want to be a part of a bidding war against my forum buddies, but I'm throwing my hat into the ring as well. But!! that may change if I can score a pair of local Belle's.

colterphoto1 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Take the SUV and some blankets. Sorry a bit harsh about my previous comments but Klipsch is NOT making any more 1965 vertical Cornwalls. So consider these precious heirlooms or fine furniture. Please whoever gets these- DO NOT TRUST any packaging or freight service. I really don't want to read another thread about how someone's KLIPSCH SPEAKERS DEMOLISHED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klipsch4life Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 You're right, Michael... If I win, I'll take care of these like I do my little blue car... Are these '63's or '65's? K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomac Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 That's why I jumped in. Had they been half as far away I'd have bid quite a bit higher. The thought of a 1500 mile round trip was way too unattractive. Especially this time of year. Somebody got a nice deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRB Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Man I hope someone here got those. I have been watching them all week. Man they are beautiful...Someone on the forum please say they got them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
