Bargains on ebay? (Part 2)

[struth]

No, that's the brown glue holding the tweeter grilles on. The are actually dome/cone units and sound very sweet (I've got a pair stashed away). Yes it is London collection. That's what I find frustrating, they're cheap, I'm not far away and I really want them, but I've run out of room!

Get them and sell another pair on the site. You'll likely make a profit into the bargain if you dont like em you can always flog em to some poor unsuspecting

I might even borrow them

[symon]

Yeah, collection only. Otherwise I would be tempted to make an offer. I find it occasionally frustrating that so many nice things are collection only.

The woofer surrounds look like they may need attention.

No. They are doped fabric and just don't wear out. They can be re-doped easily if need be.

yep will do,i pick them up on saturday,been reading up about them and by all accounts they are very good....fingers crossed eh.

So you bought the Model 23s Jamie.

I've heard a quite a few KLH models and always liked them (I remember when they were on the UK market). I've owned a couple of pairs and they sounded sweet and punchy (quite similar to vintage ARs). Let us know how you get on with them.

You may need to do a recap and rewire to get the best from them. Should be very easy, as I believe there's only one capacitor and the wiring is simple. You could probably install modern terminals too. If you have tweeter problems, I have a spare pair of what I believe are the correct ones. If the cloth surround doping (sticky coating) on the bass drivers has become porous, I can advise you on treating this.

Enjoy them!

thanks mate,after your advice i thought id have a punt,ive talked to the seller and by all accounts both sets of drivers are working fine,although as you say,after so long a recap is most defiantly needed,i might even get my hands dirty this time and have a go myself!
