The bass driver is a 421-8h.
Hi.

Trying to be polite, it is University junk that Altec tried to sell to get into the low end market. Not one of Altec's better ideas.
The Hi-Freqs stuff is all University. Driver was probably a T50...has a very nice big upper midrange peak with virtually no HF or low mid response.
The bass speaker is the value of that unit IMHO.

Thx, I was hoping for a 902 driver in there
Then I wont bid on them as I have no use for the 421-8h.
Sorry about the bad tidings...sincerely, I wouldn't recommend a T50 even to someone I DIDN'T like....
Are you in need of a pair of small formats? I know of a clean pair of alnicos needing new frams, they could be bought cheaply. Unfortunately I think the frams are 90 or so each....

I have three 902-16HF with alu frams (34852), and one 908-8B with a pascalite (26420) fram.
So I don?t need more drivers at the moment, but you know you can never have too many old loudspeaker drivers
I have also looked at a pair of 811B horns with 802-8G drivers on them, but the backchambers have had the terminals removed, and a couple of holes drilled through to the wires.
What is a reasonable price for such a pair, and does the 802 drivers sound as good as the 902 ? I have read that people generally think the 902 sounds better.
Sound is a matter of taste sometimes but I like the 802G better actually, it will go lower than the 902...
That cover is supposed to be sealed. Replacement ones are availble from Great Plains.
I would be a little leery...I would open and inspect the frams, I would also try to verify they are true Altec frams.
I would consider them distressed product and offer accordingly...I doubt i would offer more Than $300 for the set....less if i could get it....
It's a project, not a worling set IMHO. And when stuff has ben messed with their can be hidden issues....
Sad that someone knew so little they did that...
