two dot Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Would someone be kind enough to tell me when the switch was made from putting the terimals on the lower cabinet to the upper cabinet? These seem to be all series I, but I could be wrong. Thanks in advance. Two Dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Most of the time I see them up above. But I have seen them both ways. I am not so sure why at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 It was a cost saving measure- saved 4" of wire. jk [:^)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two dot Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 Surely with all of the knowledge on this site, someone must know. A pair of "X" Heresy's just sold on epay with terminals on top. The "X"s should be '82s right? It seems like I have seen similar vintage Hersy's with terminals down low. What gives??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 my '78s and '80s have them at the top...I have seen them both ways as well. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Robin Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 My '83s have them at the top also. Always wondered why they were not at the bottom. Later Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 After collecting, rebuilding, etc. about 16 pairs (at last count...) there seems to be no "order". I have two pairs of 77's right now, one up and one down out in the living room... I'm also sitting here looking at a pair of late 1985 Heresy-I BB's (still with the K-22, K-55 and 77's, believe it or not!!!) with the terminals on the top (?). I did measure the wires on a project pair a while ago and colterphoto is correct. Top loaders are shorter; but then again that does not explain why "same year" pairs would be different. The holes are, however, drilled in the same relative position, regardless of orientation... That being said, it's possible that the assemblers just put the panels on and cut the wires to fit up or down, as the case may be. Who knows. I have a single '84 HBR out in the shop connected to my $10 FM mono radio with the E2 crossover screwed to the floor panel instead of the side. Came that way, no screw holes in the side panel. Go figure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two dot Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 OK, thanks for the replies... At least its not just me being crazy. I have looked at SO many pairs trying to develop a pattern... where none exsists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
