I just ordered two new jubilee badges for my 1976 La Scalas I purchased this weekend. They must have decided to start charging shipping, mine were $35. I will post pics, and I and just double sided taping then on the grill before anyone starts screaming at me.

Congrats on the new badges. Correct or not sounds like a nice add. Wish I had some on my La Scala.
Thanks for the heads up on these. Did you order from the main office, or did you call the hope factory directly? Mine were 8 bucks more than yours for shipping, still totally worth it.I've had a set of Heresy II's for quite awhile. When I bought them, they were missing both the Klipsch badges. I've lived with it for years, looking for the OEM from time to time. Every time I find a set, they're way to much $$.
Today I ordered the current pie logo replacement for the Heritage series speakers (referred to as the Jubilee Logo 070249) directly from Klipsch. I know they're not the correct badge but at least they'll have the Klipsch logo and it was only $25 for the pair, including shipping. I really don't intend on selling them, just really wanted some sort of badge on them. Anxious to see them and put them on.

UPS, so there you go. Did get them in less than 24 hours so still no complaints.Not sure how yours shipped? If they went UPS or Fed Ex that might be the difference. Mine came in an envelope via USPS.
they are cast metal of better quality than the original plastic ones I feel. I have originals and like them too so it's not like they were not nice and I still do like the early clear plastic versions. Hey they are Klipsch so what's not to like?I also have a question, are the new badges metal or plastic? They look nice regardless of what they are made of. Also, I've never heard of reducing value by restoring the appearance. For a while, on the Klipsch forum, the "fanatics" were swapping out their old copper Klipsch badges for these new ones and you could get the old badges really cheap.
How/where did you guys order the badges? I don't see any information regarding to parts ordering on their website.
Bob Crites can help you with the grills.They all look great. I particularly like the way Ericshaun mirrored the badges from the left to the right - excellent!
I bought a pair of Klipsch Cornwall ll's a while back with no grilles and I'm having no luck finding a pair let alone with badges.
