RE: I need the screw for an early 80's K-horn woofer door terminal

around 1991 I replaced the K400 on my old set of Klipschorns with Dr. Edgar's 250Hz tractrix driven by alnico JBL LE5. A house fire consumed one K-horn. My current pair, purchased at the time to help a friend, are stock with cast aluminum K400 - K400 is just too small but I despise the basshorn in conjunction with my room walls more than the midhorn. The walls are 3/4" flooring ply on 2x6 studs topped with 3/4" sheetrock - nothing on the other side other than vinyl siding, I can lightly rap a wall and they will ring for over a second - like a poor subwoofer. Its un-listenable. I do like my high position wall mounted Heresy I with moderate ESR KGB foil/paper caps. My Klipschorns sound "thuddy" when driven by solid state - indistinct. A little 12" Karlson is more musical on cello.

My first set of K-horn style was ~1972 with Speakerlab's K driven by fresh Dynaco MKIII and a modified Dyna PAS. My house walls then were somewhat better being oldschool plaster over lathe with oak 2x4. It was fun on bagpipe and drum lps.

I need a screw to re-assemble the thing.
