Thanks for the instructions RxDx, I've got a pair of model two's and this is great to see. Your model one's are fantastic and well worth giving the full treatment. I've been doing some research on the one, two's and threes also, from what I've seen the one's came out in May/June of 1957 and the two's and three's in August of 1957. Most info you read on the net says 1958. By the way, what serial #'s are your Janszen 130.
Thank you for the compliments! I've always been fascinated by the first three
models, which was only made worse by their scarcity. Yes, I would like to go
all the way on these. Not thrilled about the black paint on top of the original
finish. I suspect it was to hide some prior damage.
I need to revise my KLH listing re: into dates for these beasts. Also, I believe they
did eventually go to the expoxied drivers for the One, Two, and Three. That had
to be seriously cheaper than the original woofers like in these two. I'm going to have
to pull the cloth off one of these. I've never seen the unit bare.
The Janszens are... 5380 (finished) and 5082 (black). I'm still looking for a little
more thorough description of how to fix these things before I break them down.
I will probably start another thread on their repair.
