  1. We have been working again on dealing with spammers and as part of that effort we are making some security-related adjustments. Please note that logins here are now based on email addresses rather than display names. Thank you!
  2. Thanks guys! This information is very helpful. I looked at photos again and it's actually serial number 0079, I'm not sure why I thought it was <50. (Possibly a blurry photo) Mark
  3. Hello All, A quick question from your behind-the-scenes administrator... does anyone happen to know what the lowest surviving AR-1 serials are? I recently heard about an AR-1 with a serial <50, and I'm wondering how much effort and cash should be put into rescuing it. Thanks! Mark
  4. Hello, 

    I'm just getting into the vintage speaker world. I have an opportunity to buy a pair of Boston Acoustics A200's. I see where someone asked many years ago for you or someone else to upload a PDF of the complete pamphlet for the A200. Is there a way I can download that so I can have the info off line? Also, do you know of any resource that has the specs for the A200?

    Thanks, 

    Daniel

  5. Guys: Trying to keep these forums (well, largely this forum) from blowing up seems to have become a full-time job for Gene, when all I was hoping for originally was that he would help me keep spammers out. You all only see part of what he deals with... if you took into account private messages and emails, I think most people would have given up already. Here's a look at some of what he's dealing with now: 1.) Griping about the fact that we agreed to remove posts 2.) Griping because we aren't banning people 3.) Griping that there's too much moderation 4.) Griping that there's not enough I'm shutting this forum down. If people can't keep things civil in the rest of the forums here, I'll use the ban functionality liberally. Please step back and think about what's going on here... this website is maintained to help people repair their classic New England speakers, not to entertain - there are plenty of other forums for that, and on some insulting each other is fair game too. Not here. Mark
  6. No offense taken. If you are successful setting up a classic Snell website, I would be glad to link to it from here. I added this Snell forum because I had multiple requests, but haven't opened up a Snell Library area because of the volume of work I have pending in the sections that already exist. Mark
  7. Per the Forum Terms & Rules: "3. You will verify your posts are on-topic." and "10. You will avoid posting links to eBay auctions that you are associated with." For sale / Wanted items should *only* be placed in the For sale / Wanted area. Posts regarding eBay auctions, as will as the user accounts responsible for the posts, will be deleted at my discretion. Visitors have made it clear that they do not want The Classic Speaker Pages to become muddled with links to auction items. Mark
  8. Andy has developed a new classic KLH model history for everyone. I have converted his list into a spreadsheet and am attaching my first draft. Please respond with your comments and suggestions. I will update the next draft with the suggestions I receive here (and that Andy signs off on) and then will place the completed spreadsheet in the Library. Thanks, Mark Classic_KLH_Model_History.xls.zip
  9. I think it's time we have a pinned topic for the "Restoring the AR-3a" document developed by six of our esteemed members - Roy Champagne, Ken Kantor, Minh Luong, John O’Hanlon, Bret Thiel, and Tom Tyson. The document is available here: http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/library...ring_the_ar-3a/ Per John's suggestion, I have put a counter on this page (available when I run statistics) so we can see how popular this document becomes. If you have feedback on the document and how it has impacted your restoration project, please reply to this thread. Mark
  10. Does AVID deserve a forum of its own, or should I make an "Other" forum in the New England category for AVID, Genesis Physics, Bozak, and any other low-traffic forums? Mark
  11. Dario mentioned he has some material from AVID loudspeakers in Rhode Island. Does anyone know more about this company? How long were they in RI? Mark
  12. We seem to be having a problem with new users and cross-posting. Cross-posting is prohibited per the Forum Terms & Rules that new users see during registration and they are always available at the top of the screen in the forums. I'm not sending individual emails to users breaking the Forum Terms & Rules - I will simply delete the user account and any problematic posts. If I need to, I'll begin banning IP addresses. We need to all do our part to keep the signal to noise level in check here. Cross-posting is annoying and can create significant confusion as separate threads develop. Mark
  13. Hi Vern, Go to the Options drop-down and select "Print this topic." Mark
  14. Hello all, I'm readying a major update to The Classic Speaker Pages. I could use help in two areas as I prepare the new KLH section: 1.) A concise 1-2 paragraph biography on KLH 2.) Ideas on how (if) I can better organize the various classic KLH products I am going to post a similar message in the other forums and will be pinning this topic in each. I realize we already have some bios in the Library, but I want to take a shot at a new bio that all visitors to the KLH section will see when they enter. Thanks, Mark
  15. In terms of organization, the AR section may be the best off. I solicited comments from Tom and others during the first reorganization. If everyone is ok with the way things are laid out now, I'll simply move that structure over to the new website. Regarding additional material... I have a queue at my place as well. The new website template will make managing content *much* easier, so I'll get that done first then move onto adding content. I hope to have a prototype ready to show some of you this weekend. Mark
