Heres the thread about mine over at the Klipsch Forum: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/124719/1260782.aspx#1260782
I should have some more photos at home. If I get an opportunity I'll be happy to post a few.
As for questions about the build its self ask away
Here's the link to Mr. Crites Cornscala info: http://www.critesspeakers.com/cornscala.html
Also... Search on "Cornscala" both here and the Klipsch forums. There is a TON of information out there as well as a lot of build details.

here's my build log on CornScala's 4 of them
http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/129786.aspx?PageIndex=1
I've yet to do the grills as i'm working on 3 hersey's into hybrids also & will do a build log of that build starting tomorrow but will do that build log here! the CornScala have blown me away on how good they sound the bass response is awesome
the mids & highs now have definition,detail,clarity, that was never present when they were CornWalls
I can say that the Crites woof,mid horn & his CT 125's all have mated very well into a sound to die for ! the added beefiness of the added 3/4" oak plywood & the Crites cast woofs has made the bass
response amazing to say the least
Give the build log a look .....

I used the Cornwall 1 on my builds
1976 &1977 vintages fine were they !
as for the CT-125 Yes a huge difference for the better !

I think you get more punch as the woofer is radiating directly @ you
for Me that is why I like the Cornwalls over the Lascalas when I bought my 1st set
& now I have the best of both worlds horns of a Lacsala & the punch of the Cornies
Now this is I M H O will cause some argument with people but each to his own ,it's a " what U like that matters " & This is what I like ...
I feel the LaScala have a bass roll off that Cornwalls don't have & I like the bass response of the Cornwalls

Anyone know what the efficiency is on these??

According to Bob's Cornscala page...there's a slight trade off-
Lowering the frequency output also lowered the efficiency.
Lowering the frequency output also lowered the efficiency.

HomeBody, I saw that but was unclear as to exactly how much lower the efficiency would be, gonna be using 2a3 about 3.5 watts, just want to make sure this will give me everything I need, thanks for the info!!

that would mean just some more as in slightly, watts to push the woofs
Am I Right on this ?

If memory serves... Cornwall "I"s were 100dB @ 1W/1M, "II"s were 101dB @ 1W/1M and "III"s are are 102dB @ 1W/1M.
Based on the crossover changes between say a Type-A (La Scala & KHorn) and a Type-B (Cornwall I) I'd put the effeciency at right around 100dB to 101dB at 1W/1M for a Cornscala.
The logic behind this assumption is that the squawker and tweeter are both 1 tap on the autoformer below those on a Type-A. This equates to a 3dB drop in output to each. Since a La Scala is rated at 104dB @ 1W/1M I believe the ~100dB number will be pretty close.
3.5 watts per channel should drive a pair of Cornscalas to somewhere just shy of 106dB.
The short answer... 3.5 watts per channel will drive a pair of Cornscalas to loud enough levels to get you evicted from your apartment.

That's my interpretation, to date....that would mean just some more as in slightly, watts to push the woofs..Am I Right on this ?

Ok, may seem like a dumb question but wanna make sure....... The front and back pieces are not glued in, correct?? Maybe use some type of sealer or something like that ( something easily removable), is that right??

need more InFo !
Just so we on the same page what front & rear pieces are we talking about ?
