    Thanks for the post and pic. Yours looks much more refined...nice cabinetry.

    I don't think Altec ever made a cab with the screw on legs like the one in the ad....I guess it could still have Altec speakers inside.....

    Looking around the web has not turned up anything either.

    Got more details, pictures? At a glance, it looks like one of those Japanese customs.

    The only Altec I can think of at the moment with legs like that is the laguna.

    Or Corona since it has a flat grill, straight top plate: http://www.hifilit.com/hifilit/Altec/1957-j.jpg

    After a closer look, I'm thinking it's a Corona with the grill cloth wrapped around the major portion of its full height legs. Need to either know what's on its build tag or its dims and what's loaded in it to be sure. Altec did so many variations on a theme to suit their customers that it's hard to know what's what sometimes.
