    Re: Drivers used in Model 19?

    Is "33952" the same as 802?

    I believe it's the specific part number for the 802-8G.

    Or that specific flavor OEM model...

    I've seen the following variations...

    old back cover...
    new back cover...
    no loading cap...
    loading cap...
    loading cap no back cover...

    all bearing slightly different part numbers same fram

    Re: Drivers used in Model 19?

    Model 19's used the following:

    Early: 416-8B & 802-8G
    Late: 416-8C & 902

    Not sure about the 902 suffix's.

    I have loaded my early 416-8B's with 416-8C's and I think I prefered the "B"'s.

    I current'ly have one 802 and one 902 on the 811's, and no one has been able to tell the difference - so far. But I will correct the problem soon.

    Re: Drivers used in Model 19?

    Model 19's used the following:

    Early: 416-8B & 802-8G
    Late: 416-8C & 902
    I personally know of more than one fella who has opened his earlier vintage 19's to find labeled and unlabeled large frame 416-8A woofers in their 19's.

    If Analog Addict sees this, maybe he'll post. He had mismatched 416's in his 19's which i believe came from the original owner and were untouched from day one.

    416-8B and 802-8G i believe are the original engineering criteria. But, i think Old Guy's post up just a couple from here is probably the most accurate description of what was actually used, and what you can expect to find. While the majority of 19's probably came with the "8B + 8G" combination, the reality is that you can probably find examples with nearly any variation of either component in them.

    The beauty of Altec components is that when you discover that you have some mismatched, you can usually find proper mates and flip your odd components in a fairly break even scenario.

    Doesn't get any more proof positive than this..........

    ................ here are 802-8G's with old style covers, one is even stamped 33952.

    Not that i for a second would doubt Old Guy's word, i just like pics, and i know some of you folks do too. So, here are some in the flesh so to speak.

    Hmmmmmm...... I was under the impression that the "A" model 416 was only a rear mounted frame... The Model 19 has no way to mount a rear framed LF driver. I am not trying to start an argument here, but I do not see how a driver earlier than a "B" model 416 could have been used on the Model 19.

    I have only seen "B" and "C" 416's used on the Model 19.

    The 802-8G without a loading cap and a normal back cover was the intended early HF driver. 902 without a loading cap and normal rear cover was the intended late HF driver.

    The model 14 had a loading cap and no rear cover... 902 only.
