miniature 210 cabinets

[RacerXtreme]

Hi gang, haven't been on here in a while. Someone just gave me a miniature version of the big 210 cabinets. Not sure if they were
a promotional display type of thing or what, but I've never seen anything like it. My digital camera just died, so as soon as I can I'll get a photo up. It's only about a foot tall and is an exact scaled down version of the big V.O.T.T. boxes. Anyone ever seen or heard of anything like it?

Thanks,

Guy

Yes, I saw a complete set of models on
e-pay a while back. I should have saved
the picture. They were very cool. Went for
big bucks.. They were a promo.......

Do you remember what they went for? What kind of speakers (if any) were in them? How long ago were they on? Thanks,

Guy

It was this summer. Their were a lot of them
including the A-7 and the whole VOTT line.
I tried to search the Bay but its too late.
I cant remember the price but it was very high.
Someone will come by here and remember in time,
infact I thought it would be someone from here
that would buy them. Lets wait and see. Art

I got these a few years back. I believe they were salesmen's samples (if anyone knows something different let me know). They were empty with an opening for a 2" driver so I installed Tang Band 2" full range drivers and they do the trick. They are my computer speakers with good highs and surprisingly good bass although I do use them with an old Altec (sparkomatic) computer sub.

They are 12" x 14" x 6.5" and the wings add 2" to each side.

Those are pretty cool

I think the original use was educational classes conducted by Altec reps. Many wound up in the hands of dealers and were no doubt used as samples.

I have a pair that date earlier than those, I think 72 ish. They are A5's, with a cast metal 1003, and functional cabinets that have 405A in them. They will probably turn up when I'm searching for something else.

I picked those up when I went out to California early 73 to interview.

I just realized after I'm gone my daughter is going to have an interesting garage sale.
