    Re: Altec LF!/2

    Having seen some racing deaths from back then 'up close and personal', they didn't help at all since it rarely stayed on when there was a head injury other than a thrown stone or similar. From 'old-timer' stories though, the leather helmets did a decent job of it. The first major breakthrough in head injuries was Plexiglas face shields since the majority of head, brain injuries was from objects hitting between/around the goggles and helmet.

    Anybody know which woofers were in these? I thought I had the info and/or had seen it online, but no luck.

    TIA

    Hi Greg- take with a shaker of salt, as the old gray matter ain't what she used to be. But I believe it's the same 12" used in the Santana II. Was used in a couple of other consumer grade Altecs. I think also the Model 15.

    Edit: Just looked at the LF/2 manual- sure appears that is correct- shows the Altec frame.

    Re: Altec LF!/2

    I think it's the 34633 woofer of the Model 14/9842. It has a little bit smaller motor than the 33785 Model 15 woofer.

    IIRC, one of the LF's uses the same woofer, and the other uses a modified version with dual VC windings(?).

    They're similar looking woofers, the earlier 33785 will have spring terminals while the later 34633 will have 1/4" push ons.

    You are probably correct. I just remember when substituting parts Altec gave us woofers they said were the same. Been many years since I serviced an LF/2.

    Thanks all! Shortly after posting, a fellow with both systems being used double duty as subs and speaker plinths on FB confirmed this, though didn't remember/didn't want to look see the DVC's woofer number or what type connectors used.

    Hey Greg !
    Steven is looking into a couple things especially why the server stops processing php requests after a certain amount of time. Usually 2-3 weeks.Requiring a Server reboot.
