820C 'eye candy'

I found a Laguna empty cabinet real cheap and installed 2 416a woofers and 511 with 802d and n8500 xover at 500. It looks and sounds great for a speaker of that time. I love that real old
Altec stuff.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Indeed! FWIW, the few other 820's I've seen had a much lighter grill cloth as listed on the drawing in the Badmaieff/Davis book (Newcastle 211-72 aluminum for the dark finish), so maybe a manufacturer of 'classic' grill cloths has a cross reference to both this and the much darker cloth on this cab.
