Vintage, Klipsch, turntables R2R
Ive decided to recondition and rebuild a teak console my father had made by a 96 yr old craftsman in Okinawa back in 62.
Originally it had an Akai R2R, Receiver and turntabe with huge speakers. Unfortunately all the components were lost over the years so I am educating myself on vintage audio.
Today I bought a pair of Klipschorn speakers and a Yamaha M85 amp for $900.00.
I plan on stripping the white paint off refinishing and veneering in Ausyralian walbet to match the 70th Anniversary edition Klipschorns and modififying the crossovers, diaphrams, tweeters etc to match as well.
Im considering purchading a Kenwood KR9600 receiver, Pioneer 707 R2R and eventually a turntable.
Any advice, tips are welcome since I am a neophyte

@bleu. I noticed you're in eagle rock. Rad. I just joined this forum today and am looking for people in the LA area who know how to fix vintage receivers / speakers from the 70s. I have a pioneer receiver xs 780 and as Bose 901 II. I recently moved to Chinatown and my set up was working just fine, but I came home from the break to discover that it's not working. Know of anyone in our area? I've been reading up on it and I think I may have found the issue. I don't mind paying someone, I'm just tired of getting ripped off at places like Solution in Silverlake.
hi again, i live in the santa clarita valley off the last exit before going to Acton (where the hell is Acton?). on a Saturday every couple of months or so, my friend and i sell MANY vinyl records (rekkids) out of his garage. we are both avid audio enthusiasts with serious components. nearly all of the discs have been cleaned with a SpinClean. many rare and deluxe discs are available as well as rock, jazz, movie music, horror, and other genres are featured.
