Thanks Brian,
yeah, i was perusing ebay one day and was like "what the heck are those? I WANT THEM!"
the speakers were in Oakland too. the bidding didn't hit the reserve ($350), i offered $250 - and we settled on $275.
pretty decent shape - cabinets are pretty clean. the veneer on one corner is a little chipped and the legs were missing. some morons glued shag carpet to the bottoms.
recently my buddy picked up some home-made speaker cabinet jobs with virtually the exact legs. so, now i have the legs for the speakers! whoo hoo!
and i do have a random set of 130 arrays for parts. they do work, but one is 16 ohm and the other is 8 ohm and someone painted the cabinets black (they were not the utility arrays).
the Z-200 worked fine, but would arc after a while. i replaced the seleniums with diodes and installed solen poly caps to replace the paper ones.
unfortunately one started motorboating. i went to yank the cord, but it already blew a fuse. i haven't tried to see what happened. hopefully the transformer and panels are fine.
if not, i have those aforementioned 130 arrays PLUS i have two green panels as spares. so, all will be well at some point.
the janszens are just chillin' in my insulated garage (covered up too) as i've been perfectly happy listening to my main speakers, Yamaha NS-1000M with a REL Q100 sub.
BUT, the Z-200 will sing again. at some point.
see ya,
Robby
Roby, you have the JansZen version of the KLH Model One. A really nice historic pair of speakers.
