Hammond C3 SOLD - K'Horns moved in !!!

[GWSmith]

Hello everyone.

You may remember me from some months ago...
I'm the fellow that was willed the 1968 K'horns which have been in
storage in my CLEAN garage for some time. When I joined the forum, I
had mentioned my music room with all the organs etc. in it and how room
had to be made for the setting up of the K'horns which were placed in a
late friend's will.

As of today (Sunday 26th) my buddy (who
bought my C3) sent the movers to take that Hammond organ, and then,
for the first time in a year, the K'horns were moved from the garage to
the music room!! YEAAAAAH! (O: For ease, I took the horn section
off AND the side grill panels so we could get them through the door
(carefully hand carried).

You may also remember that I bought NEW
caps for my xovers from Bob Crites. THIS will now begin the cleaning
and restoration of these fine speakers of which I STILL have never
heard.

Many have asked for photos, and I will take them starting
with the speakers all in pieces until they are finished and every screw
is tightened and the xovers have been cleaned and retrofitted with the
new caps.

These K'horns have the WHITE grills and I don't know how common this was, as I have NOT seen any on the forum as of yet.

So,
there you have the update and I wanted you all to know, especially
those that I had just met way back and didn't want to leave hangin'
[]

Keep you all posted soon.

Regards,

Gary

Thanks Tom...

I am planning on starting with the cleaning today (Sunday)... Since my grill cloth is a white `weaved' cloth, I am wondering if anyone has had experience with cleaning them. I don't want to vacuum the dirt `through' the grill where the horn drivers are, so maybe blotting with a sponge of soap solution or fantastik ??? Well, I got lots to do and lucky very little in the way of touching up wood nicks etc.

Let me know if we should take this conversation into a different topic area, ie 2 channel or other?

Again, thanks for the welcome - reply.

Gary
