GWSmith Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Previous photo showed a stain marker used for hitting the nicks and dings.. The footing on the very front bottom can be seen here and is pretty much the worst of the damage in this example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Seen here, the new stuff I used to oil the really lovely veneer on these K'Horns [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 This photo shows the finished front. After you let this sit for a bit, you then buff it. It takes back the shine just a bit, but leaves the rich color AND with NO oil left behind. I'm pretty happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Check this out!! The interior of the horn cab has UNFINISHED VENEER!!! It could be varnished or lacquered with a clear, but, just oiling it up brought out the rich tones there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Here is one of the rear, now that they are complete (without the side grills). Note some of the rubber padding has missing sections? This all by the previous owner. I would like to change this out and have COMPLETE strips.

GWSmith Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hello everyone. I was wondering if there was trouble for people to write back to this topic. I had my subscription disabled!!! Sorry, I hope that people will be able to write now.. I will learn how to run this thing yet [:$] ...Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom b. 57 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Gary, They look beautiful. You have done a great job resurrecting the old gals. How are they sounding? I can't wait until I am able to latch on to a pair. Grandaughter commanding attention, gotta' go. Again, great job! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks Tom. I really appreciate you nice comments. I remember about a year ago when I first joined the forum. I mentioned that I had been willed these speakers from a very good friend of mine that had passed on, and that someday, I would have them setup and take photos etc.... Well, that has now come to pass. [] There were MANY responses to that, but, I could NOT send any photos at the time because they were sitting in storage in my garage (this one, attached to house and very CLEAN), under a cover. So, I am glad to be able to present in detail my experiences cleaning them and bringing an audio signal to them once again after sitting silenced for the better part of 3 years! (O: I DO have another topic going, concerning my listening experiences over the past few days and my findings. I have mail there and suggestions by members to read on a certain problem I have noticed. Again, many thanks! Truly, Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Ok all....... Its OFFICIAL.... My tweeters are nearly dead (low gauss from aging Alnico magnets - as told by a Klipcsh techie on Friday) and after the listening test and finding a buzz in the left horn driver, I decided to replace everything! I contacted Bob C. and ordered up two CT-125's AND two K-55 diaphragms along with a pair of new coupling gaskets! They should be here on Wed. according to Bob. And I will begin yet ANOTHER series of photos of the proceedure for you all, or at least those who dare not try this alone (diaphragm replacement).. All from here for now .. .....Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
