2 5/8"    1989         My little Buddy's, I was moving them to measure and and he said, " hey paw-paw, are they hooked up right ", pointing to the 2 wires going to the red and black terminals, I said yes and he said, " maby I just need better wires " ! 

Oh no, Marshal I think he is hearing the little voices, you created a monster !

DeanG:

Go get 'em Bucky.:)

 Mike, the more I listen to them, the more I really like them, I'm taking the guts of one of the HII's to make a center channel, does it have to be apx 2.0 cubic feet in volume, my version, a little longer, which puts less psi on the tv almost makes sense, but it is slightly larger in terms of cubic feet, it is about 2.2 cubic feet.

Mike, tell Mark he did a heck of a job on the parts for the rebuild, in spite of the two gotcha's it was totally worth it.  I have one really dumb question, how do I clean my grille clothes.  Or can I order new ones ?

Since I have HIII's now, I figure the clothes should be as pretty as the cabs and as awesome as the sound. 

(Mike, by the way, the correct abbreviation for Lieutenant Commander is LCDR, but it's all good with me.)

 I am keeping th HII guts as either a center channel project or a lilscala project.  They are some really great guts.

 Stan, once all was good, they totally kick ass, it was worth every minute and every dime.

 My mom has some old Macintosh tube equipment from 1962, she has told me that when she is gone it is all mine, but I still prefer my Yamaha Receiver and my 1.25 TB of digital data stored on my Linux machine.

 Making a heresy center or 2 is a good idea, it works well between a number of heritage.

Yup, once you get them started.... Michael wants a pair of Heresy's with his Klipschorns as "system B"..... Just like Dad....

LCDR Mark: Easy day.... use some dishwashing detergent and gently wash the cloth with a rag or a soft bristle brush; rinse off with spray nozzle in the bath tub, etc, and wipe masonite board dry; place grilles in rear of a floor fan and turn it on. They will come out pretty clean. You can repeat that a couple times if they are really grody. Just avoid getting the board wet for any length of time.

Thanks for the feedback Mark, and for the grille cleaning instructions Marshall. Being in FL, you have that 'always running' A/C and putting the grilles in front of the cold air return is sheer genius. Here in Indy I just put em in the basement and hit em with a fan on low for a few hours.
