In search of 4333a grill plans

[Vigman]

So I finished my E bay rescue tube amp.... ( KT-88's, great iron & 500 volt rails )

http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?28551-Help-needed-on-BIG-tube-amp&p=287752&highlight=#post287752

It sounds fantastic.. and a fun learning curve...60 hours of burn in on some JBL L-100's... next part of that project is a preamp.

I am now back on to the restore of the 4333's.... I refoamed the 2231a's.. and I have to say what a HUGH difference between the EV's I had in there just to make music...

So now I'm stuck on the grill again :dont-know:...
I've searched high & low... and found partial info on this very site...

But I was wondering ( read BEGGING! ) if someone had real blueprints ( or scans ) of the grill plans?!

I tried to get my carpenter to make a mockup with the info here... and he is JUST not interested:crying: unless he get's a real drawing....

So can anyone help???

Thanks in advance

a real carpenter would not need real drawings ...... Send him Mexico to build speakers .....:D

All the grills on the 43xx were built the same way. If he can't work from Saeman's drawings :blink:

like I said ...... :behead:

Suffice it to say we have had some " history " where he has had a creative idea.. and built... where I turn around and state.. what the BLEEP is THAT!...

We have agreed to have good plans BEFORE moving foward...

So no help?

Thanks

This is the info I had to work from ...... the angles and post dims are the same .....

If he can't make them with this ....... then they are 200 quid for the pair and you pay for shipping :D

Good luck , Rich

Hi Mike,

I have to make some drawings of the 4333A front grills for another LH member.
But I will leave my home tomorrow morning for a 3 weeks trip.
So I could send you the drawings in about 4 weeks. Can you wait just 4 weeks :crying: ???

Feel free to PM me if you have no news within 4 weeks ...

Best regards from France.

How much is 200 quid in USD?? A quid is a pound??
So 320~ usd? PLUS shipping across the pond...Hmmmmmmmm

Pondering

Cheers

read the spec F--- sakes ! the blue grill cloth is 8 ohms and the black is 16 ohms Geeez.... What ! You dont deserve those speakers send them to london :applaud:

[Vigman]

I do NOT have the utility style cabinets cripes...
Do I look like a mere PEASANT ...
Naturally it would be BLUE.....

And yes, yes I do deserve these...
Since I rescued them form a garage, kicked in woofers..
No sound playing thru them for .... 10+ years..
Surround foam rotted to the edges...
Plastic midrange diffusers stepped on and shatttered..:eek:
Motorcycle oily parts parked on top..
Holes drilled in cabinet for ... HANGING :crying:
It was HORRID!
But they have a good home now & are recovering slowly.

I would redo the grilles myself...
But wood & I do NOT agree most of the time & wood usually wins!


Thanks
Mike

Hey Vigman,


Just have a bit of fun . I'm sure they will much loved in their new home .... I hope you eventually give them the CC networks ... schematics are here and well worth the effort ...

Why don't you ask someone over there to make your grills . I would gladly make them for you , but there is some real talent on your side of the pond that maybe happy for a bit of extra cash as we move toward the silly season ....

just let me know so I have time to sharpen my witt !

pics dudem, post some pics I'm standing here with my jeans round my ankles and no bloody inspiration . C'mon man !
