Those who are interested might wish to go to [link] and
browse their collection of Audio, High Fidelity, and Stereo Review from 1952
to 1962.

Need I say that, in that era, "music" meant "classical music".

It turns out that the "middle" speaker is not a woofer, but a full-range
system, the Weathers Decorator.

Ms Fennerty stumbled across it in the January, 1958 issue of "High Fidelity".

Based on the photos...

The "satellite" speakers are KLH Model Sixes. They were a popular speaker, and
have no particular value.

The Weathers appears to be a woofer. I'm unfamiliar with it. I'd always
thought the woofer for the Weathers satellite system was a fairly small box
that slipped under the sofa, but I could be wrong.

I don't know whether there's a binary group for RAR.

That pretty much destroys their collectivity.

I'm sending my address in separate e-mail.

Hi, I downloaded the photo's to my computer but cannot figure out how to post them to the group. I took the speakers out of the boxes and realized although they all are matching cabinets the two side speakers are KLH. and seem newer than the Weathers speaker. can I send you the photo's directly?

Omigod, I remember these! I feel so friggin' old . . . Here in Louisville,
back in the late fifties, the local hifi salons would sponsor a weekend

would take me to them. Turntables, vacuum toobs, horn speakers, oh my!

It's a bit confusing. HP says it stopped supplying parts and support in 2005,
which (assuming it applies to the 4 models) is rather a long time. (Most
companies drop support within a year after a product is discontinued, even
though it's illegal.)

The 4- and 5-series printers were made by Canon, so it's not surprising

Really? The last job I was at still used a 5si up until about a year
ago... the thing was slow but literally never went down, unlike pretty
much all the new fancy printer/copier/scanners. Obviously I had to use
the new fancy stuff for copying and scanning but I still kept the 5si
mapped on my PC for print jobs. I don't know how old they are but my

No, it's an actual tuning eye, although not in eye shape. They are type
