Let's begin to think about which weekend in late Sept/early Oct will work for all of us. Right now my schedule is wide open. Maybe Sept 27-28?

Looks good for me.

Sorry for the false alarm/tire-kicking. I thought i could sneak away for 3-4 hours this weekend, but as of today I'm neck-deep in honey-dos.

After hearing the F2s you guys will have to pay people to take the CWs off your hands....even if they have some exotic sissy wood.

Seriously, those z-woods of Gary's are to die for. I am number zero on that list you are trying to get on DKALSI, and we all know zero comes before 1. I am pretty sure Gary will be burried with them, and when he does I'll be waiting in the wings with a shovel.

Dhar - Your presence is required in September so don't make any plans for that weekend. No BS excuses like you're getting married, etc.

Can you bring some of that velcro to work tomorrow? I'll walk down and get it at lunch if that's OK. I will be eternally grateful.

BTW - $25 big ones and the Zebras are yours!! :) Seriously though, I think it would take a fairly outrageous sum before I would sell them. Lots of sentimental value.

Gary,

If rplace is right and you "dump" your z-wood cornwalls (which I already know you would never).... I just want to make sure I am the first one on your

list - name your price. Those are by far the best looking cornwalls I have ever seen.

Dave has agreed (assuming his schedule allows) to bring along his OO Pop-Bumpered Forte 1s to my house in DE when you come with your IIs. We'll then be able to compare my Cornwall 1s w/Dean's "Super B" networks, Dave's Forte 1s with the Pop-Bumper K-Stacks and Rich's stock Forte IIs. I have a 2-story great room with a 16' wall that should be a great place to set up. The soundstage should be HUGE.

Let's begin to think about which weekend in late Sept/early Oct will work for all of us. Right now my schedule is wide open. Maybe Sept 27-28? Any thoughts?

Once you hear my Forte IIs you will *ALL* be dumping your CWs. Even those pretty z-wood ones. The only thing better sounding then a pair of Forte IIs is 5 or 7. And mine still have the original networks. We need Popbumper to send us out a set of his networks so we can do some "market research" for the big get together.

Michael,

They've just darkened over the years. No debris, just an even yellowing. Someone once mentioned shaving cream but e-gads, can't imagine that would work. I suppose I should just count my blessings that they yellowed evenly.

I'm actually looking forward to sanding these down. I can see the bottoms as they lay in the back of my van and they're just beautiful. I think Dave went a little nuts with the BLO and there are globs of dried, sticky oil all over these. They have a real nice matching grain pattern with quite a few knots.

Anyone ever figure out how to clean can grills?

Dust can be vacuumed with very light fluffy brush to help with debris removal. I don't know of any way to bring back the color, are they yellowed in spots or evenly yellowed?
