    This auction sets off red flags to me...

    1945 Ultra RARE Altec Lansing 604 RWB Phenolic 612 Cabinet Western Gorgeous HiFi | eBay

    A pair of very rare speakers in primo shape? the fact that they ar from the mono days and a pair is the first flag. Then they look too nice.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.

    The cabs look suss.

    There was a thread here I think on fake cabs.

    The drivers are not that matched, a few hundred apart in SN's. Still I could wait 10 years and possibly get a closely matched set.....

    I agree with Magnarc's observations. I'm suspicious of the boxes, not so much the drivers.

    The seller's grammar, and paragraph structure suck, bad.

    If you can take the time to sift thru the seller's description, he gives full disclosure on everything that's been done to them.
    Not all vegetables make good leaders.

    I thought they looked reconed, and the picture of the phragm with the Phillips screw head... that long wire tab just waiting to lean down a hair and short out on the mounting screws made me cringe.
