Refurbished 1948 Klipschorn 

This is the oldest factory-built Khorn known to still exist. The Klipsch factory in Hope Arkansas - now the Klipsch museum - was constructed sometime in 1948, this 1948 Klipschorn was the 20th one that was built there.
The first Klipschorn, number 101, the prototype, featured a Western Electric 555W compression driver. It was built by Paul Klipsch at his home in Hope Arkansas, along with 19 other Khorns, including the seven units he built for the Baldwin Organ company.
For what it’s worth I was told this early Klipsch speaker is a Style 6, but the tag identifies it as a “Type K-3-C”
The face and top were refinished with Khaya a type of African Mahogany. I cut the pieces from a 4’X8’ panel of pre-finished veneered MDF. The light-colored wood is iron-on maple veneer. The grill cloth was purchased from Amazon.
