Altec Magnificant Wooden Grills - battered but available

**rogerh113** · March 27th, 2018, 11:24 AM

Hello,

I have some Magnificent wooden grills left over from a project. These are the real wood grills made in Japan. They are battered, but might be able to be cut / rebuilt to a smaller size if there is the motivation or desire. Size is approximately 40 1/4 by 28 1/2. Available for shipping cost or local pickup. I would rather not insert these in the dumpster..... I can post pics if anyone is really interested. They are in SF Bay Area.

regards -- Roger

As I understand it, all these beautiful die-cut wooden grills were supplied to Altec, JBL and others from Japan in the good old days. Anyone out there with damaged 1960s Altec Magnificent, Malibu, Valencia etc. grills would do well to obtain these, as otherwise impossible artful repairs could be made.

The snail tracks are glue - I tried getting of a section with a razor blade, and it works quite well. Also have a small bottle of touch up paint I am happy to include.

it would be possible to pull a silicone mold off the good part to make patches.

I was planning to 'downsize' the grills to the size of my modified Magnificents. Cutting and patching the grills seemed pretty feasible (and a fun project). As I said, ended up liking the speakers without grills (or more importantly, my wife did).

Last call on these. Packed them up for a guy that said he wanted them, and then he never got back. Shipping looks to be about $30. Will try on eBay, and if no interest they will have to be scrapped.

Sorry Roger - just found your messages and have PM'd you back - I will take these and plan on offering replacements. I have an awful time understanding navigating/using this site and the forums!
