If these go for the BIN for 5k... I might just have to cash out of mine!
Interesting differences noted for posterity...
Mine came with handles on the side (which I never questioned as non-original, but noting also that they are not shown in the spec sheet pic) perhaps they were an option or aftermarket.
As well, mine do not have the 4 (felt pads?) shown on the bottom of those.
pretty sure those are flypoints, just T nutted holes in this case.As well, mine do not have the 4 (felt pads?) shown on the bottom of those.

Wow,, talk about up charging...
He had this posted on Craig's about a year ago for $2.5k or less, & I thought this was a bit excessive... now he is asking $5k... they might not be that common, but man this much?

FYI for the group:
The M600 and 938-8A used a high-power version of the 604-8K. This was not the first time a high-power 604 was produced by Altec. I have a data sheet and installation instruction for the model 904-8A. The documents are dated 1984 and 1987. The 904-8A was rated at 120W (1984) and 150W (1987). It used a higher power woofer voice-coil, a Symboitic HF diaphragm and what appears to be a standard 604-8K crossover with 1/4" connectors added to the front panel.
The 904-8A included the network and was sold as a component to be installed in customer built 930, 620, or 612 enclosures.

I'm pretty sure it also uses a heavier cone, same or similar to 421 maybe? At any rate, the LF section of 904 does not have the tonal/timbral characteristics of a 604, park em side by side and give a listen.The 904-8A included the network and was sold as a component to be installed in customer built 930, 620, or 612 enclosures.

Though by later standards that wasn't high power...it handled more than a stock 604...
Your neighbors called. They like your music.
I have reread my last post and I actually did not say the 904-8A was the first.
I think I said the component used in the M600 was not the first.

Sorry if it sounded like a correction, was more just to raise the point...

And you made an excellent point.Sorry if it sounded like a correction, was more just to raise the point...
The 604-HPLN and the 904-8A are little known members of the club.
Either one could be rebuilt into a true 604!
