If any of you folks, between chasing off newbies and getting into cable arguments, can take some time to browse the vintage loudspeaker schematics and let me know what you feel is missing?

I'm doing another round of PDF conversions and archive searching and in case I miss something, figured I'd ask membership for some help in identification.

Just post them here and I'll compile them. I'm only spending one day at HQ so we have a week to get a list together. If you have over 1000 posts, consider this your duty so to speak.

TIA - Mark

    In the "RTxxxi SERIES - VINTAGE"
    I have the RT55i schematic I got from Kim

    In the RTixxx SERIES - VINTAGE"
    I have the RTi70 schematic I also got from Kim (which surprisingly has been downloaded more than the RT55i version)
    http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=46073&d=1264561593

    "The want" list:
    >The RT35i would be nice as well.
    > A better copy of the LSi's would be nice. ( A few of them are hard to read)

    Also, I noticed the Monitor 30 schematic is in with the vintage Monitors.

    I fixed the M30 issue and added the other two schematics. Thanks!

    I'll look into the LSi problem.

    For the LSi Schematics, Cont-Shift-+ will turn them the correct way.

    Yea, I just took a look at them and aside from me scanning a couple upside down, they look crisp to me. Just rotate them and print.

    It is the Lsi9 & the LSi25 schematics.
    LSi9: The values for the L1 and C1 are 'washed out and unreadable', both in the diagram and the table.
    Lsi25: All the values are hard to read. It must just be because of my 15" screen on my laptop.

    Since you are updating the the diagrams, it would be nice to be able to read them.

    It wasn't about the rotation, I can handle that.

    The LSi9 is hard to read but the LSi25 is perfect. I'll try and get a better LSi9.

    Hmm...we don't currently have any schematics up for the Peerless equipped Monitor's.

    I'm not sure about the Peerless 5's...The Peerless 7's were basically the same as the regular 7's, but with different resistors in the HF signal path. A 2.7 and a 4.5 ohm resistor was used instead of the 2.0 ohm resistor usually found in Monitor 7's.

    Thanks, the LSi25 must be my crappy little laptop monitor

    +1 for the Peerless Monitor Series...That would be sweet :D

    In the CS series, the CSi5 is missing....

    I'll double check but I found most of what was available for the vintage Monitor series.

    How about cut-away drawings / plans for the f/x1000 speaker.
    Many are wanting a set, and very few are available.
    Perhaps the more adventurous would enjoy a chance to build a set ?
    Thank you.

    It just isn't going to happen, pretty simple.
