Love that Kenwood! I had it's little brother & matching tuner, but our oldest took them to college. That was over 10 years ago and I don't think they are ever coming back home.
Lol, it doesn’t matter which way I turn them or where I turn the pots. It’s like there’s just no baffle step in it at all, but they are pretty cool. They have all the paperwork from when the guy bought them.. Will dig inside see what’s in there
I sold a pair of those last year, but never got to hear them. Someone's kids had pushed in the tweeters and one of the mids was torn. Those look to be in much better shape!
Have they been in use recently? If not, it is possible that the old suspension needs to loosen up a bit. They might be less bright if they played for a few hours...
I lived with a pair of those in college. They were bright and revealing. My OC roommate had a pair driven by a Kenwood KA-9100(?) amp and I had a smaller Pioneer amp with a pair of BIC Venturi's. Very different sounds but it was awesome to have those choices back in the days before WAF.
Been a rough couple of weeks here. Thanks for those orders everyone . I’m dealing with some cnc issues lately ever since my move. The machine likes to randomly stop in the middle of cutting, I might have a stepper motor going bad. So a few of those kits got out slower than usual. We will be starting our vintage audio eBay auction back up and I have some amps to dyno. I just need to stop worrying about the cnc and get moving.
On the CNC issue, what controller and software are you using for the gcode? I had a random estop issue appear and go away, and it started happening after I swapped out the battery on the motherboard of the comp. It turns out I had a corrupted Mach3 file. My problem was fixed when I restored the XML file to the previously archived file:
Brad posted up the corrected schematic for the Chacho project. Thanks for catching my error Ron.
I never self promote my projects ("You should build my xxx project") as I feel that's pretty tacky. But if anyone does build a pair I'm all ears to hear your impressions, good or bad. I have pretty thick skin and this is just a hobby for me so don't hold back on any criticisms.
I have a pair of the woofers already, so I ordered the tweeters and a few crossover parts for these. Not sure when I'll get to them, but it'll be a good project for one of the coming cold winter weekends.
We do match the tweeters since they can all be very different. The last batch only had one that was way off. I will also be building a set of The Chachos.

These Shure amps came out of The One and Only Corn Palace. We believe they were installed after the big fire in the early 80’s. Still work nice!!

Are these for sale or are you just rooster tailing us Brad?

Matching some tweeters for a New Mac kit. Only had 1 out of 8 that was wacky measuring.

I just measured another pair of those I had sitting on my shelf. They match darn near perfect so I may used them in my omni/OB project/experiment.
I also got this moved over today. I might have to read up on how it works again.

A new restoration job. These things are BRIGHT sounding. Should be fun to measure .

I think they're upside down. Turn them rightside up and they will sound dark lol
Those 12's are freaking awesome! The rest of it....ehh, it's ok.

The woofer are almost perfect shape. I’ll be doing a set of 4312’s after these.

Wish there was a "heart" or "care" emoticon here.... God bless, dude.

If it wasn't for the tedious times, we we wouldn't enjoy the good times, Brad.
(Or so I tell myself . . .).

Those are about the same price as the C-Notes, considering you have to buy a little wood to finish off the Chachos. I know which ones I would want...

I'll probably get one pair of the kit.

Had a random thought while perusing the site.. MTM with JDT tweeter and E5s? A pair of E5s models pretty nice in <.5cf ported.
Long time no see. Got a different phone for camera reasons and to manage just eBay and Website photo. Time to get back to selling this stuff.
