Thanks guys.
Yeah, I could not in good faith sell these knowing they are so far out of spec. Not right for the buyer, and not right for the Altec brand.

Bill told me several times that he had never seen Alnico that would not recharge. Told me it was impossible to beat Alnico so badly it would not take a charge. And yet these didn't. But that's not what I've heard from some other Altec heads. Who knows?

GPA did tell me not to worry about the measurements. "Just listen to them." I did, they suck. GPA did say "they should be pretty close to spec" but would never tell me what that was. Wouldn't look it up for me. When I finally did find specs, they were obviously way out.
A frustrating experience all around.

You're right Robert, a lot of shipping charges in these two! No idea if the magnets can be replaced. Gotta be near as expensive as new drivers, tho.

Oh well.... a couple of big ashtrays.
