He will go down in history as the record king. Shit! And some thought our obsession with Carver gear was a little crazy.

I hear what your saying and you just might get lucky on parts (patience would be a virtue either way), realistically though you are stuck once you buy the cabinets and will grow a beard once it's finished, if you ever finish it. Think of how the scrap yards make all their money off car parts. Once the car is chopped those parts go up 2 to 3 times their value, especially if they are not being manufactured any more. Last I checked they were not making the Kappa 8's anymore.

So I guess spending $1,200.00 to $1,400.00 is still an option?

Two scenarios.... 1. Even if you bought his cabinets for $50.00 his crossovers have the wires trimmed all the way back (would need to add wire.) I have a set of 8a crossovers with the wires intact. 12" drivers go for an average of $300 a pair, Polygraph K's $300 a pair (sometimes more), Polydome K's $300 a pair, EMIT K's maybe $200 for all 4 if your lucky (sometimes more). That's $1,100 in parts excluding the cabinets or crossovers, see where I'm going with this? 2. Wait for a pair to come up locally for somewhere between $600 and $900 (depending on condition), save yourself the extra time, aggravation, hassle and expense. We could vote on this for fun.

Ohhhhhh, so that's what they look like.

Welcome to the forum donberry! We still like photos here...

Cool! So is it going to keep the Vibrato name?

Make sure your binding posts are tight and your amp is plugged in, otherwise you might have problems.

Good find Mike.

Currently living on the south side of K-town. Bought land west of 94 out in Salem. So were you a K-town south sider or a south sider wanna be? Lived more towards the east on 30th Ave just south of 40th st. Used to walk Washington every day till I got my first set of wheels.

Howdy again Cheesehead! Good place and good people to be around up there in K-town. Which side did you get your land on, out in the county? Post some photos of your gear when you get a chance, we all like photos here.

Do it. If your records are clean and you have a good cart you'll be fine. The pop's don't bother me on the 5 or 6 out of the 600 + albums I have, it's all part of the vinyl experience.
