Score!! 2 pairs of vintage KLHs !

On the way to the supermarket this morning, I spotted a "Moving Sale"
sign on a telephone pole. Decided to take a look. The house was crawling with
tons of ppl. Had to park around the block. Fought my way through hoards of ppl, found the seller, asked for old hi-fi equipment, the reply was a shrug, and was directed to the basement. Looking, looking ,looking through the haze of junk, spotted one KLH 5 w/ the grill pulled off, then 2 beautiful KLH Model 15 speakers; looked harder and spotted the 2nd KLH 5 camouflaged. Fought my way upstairs, found the seller and asked to buy both pairs. Price? $30 for all 4! And she told me that she sold a Heathkit amp/rcvr that she built 45 years ago a few days earlier. Oh well, $30 for 2 perfectly working pairs of KLH speakers in one morning ain't too bad, is it?

Now that's a good story with a great ending.
Have you had a chance to audition them yet? Inquiring minds and all that.

I'm jealous!

Yes!

TA, all drivers work in both pairs of speakers! Believe it or not!
The moral of this story: it pays (sometimes) to take a few minutes to check out "moving sales."

Even if it takes more than a few minutes.

I saw you were all over that local area DH-500. Congrats. Hope it's not a Montauk Point pick-up.

I haven't bought a digital camera yet. Still researching 'em.
If I had one, I'd have a ton of jpgs to post. Eventually, soon.....

and DH-500 isn't in Montauk Point (Whew!)
