Analogman Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hello to all!Been away for a long time; Life's distractions (and cancer) ; - (Anyway, can anyone tell me if there is a reliable way to tell if a Model Six has the sealed paper in oil caps or the exploding "craps", without having to open the speaker?Do/did all of the epoxied versions (woofer AND tweeter) come with the better caps, or are the "mil-spec"caps a myth all together?Serial numbers any help with this?ORLike AR, is the only way to know for certain is to open the speaker up? (consistently inconsistent)Thanks to all,Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyC Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Craig,If you have non-epoxied-in woofers, your caps are most likely the typical black and red caps. Plan on replacing them. There aren't too many KLH speakers still floating around out there with any other type of cap.Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi Roy , I’m kind of having a hard time getting involved with csp. I think my problem is that everyone is gone now. I got excited and wrote a few things about some of the klh speakers I have and after I posted it I noticed the last time the gentlemen was on was 17 years ago. I will wait to hear from you to see if you are still hear. Fred Jones K8RRF. It’s my ham call. Force of habit !! Hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(consistently inconsistent) Thanks to all, Craig If the terminal plate is recessed, you have the Callins or whatever caps, not the PIO. If the terminal plate is flush with the back of the cabinet, you might have metal caps. If not, they're some other brand besides the black plastic body Callins. Recessed terminal plates were phased in somewhere around serial 134xxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed the boat on this one by 3 and a 1/2 years as well as the fact that "might" falls into the same category as "consistently inconsistent"........................or if you prefer, there'll be an "exception to every rule, every time" ............à la most, if not all products Kloss ever had anything to do with (during the real Walnut veneer era) Thanks for playing though!
