    Never Knew.............

    .......... that they made an "LF" version of the 417.

    Altec 417-16 LF Bass Musical Instrument Speaker USA - eBay (item 330501131195 end time Dec-03-10 15:44:21 PST)

    I'm not exactly sure why, but i get the feeling that these would be a good find.

    Interesting.

    421 motor on a 417? Noting the date, that design was likely one of a number lost in the bankruptcy.

    At $50 (starting bid) for NOS Altec woofers in original boxes, I'd love to hear how four of those babies sound in the "right" 4x12 (bass guitar) cab.....

    Very Interesting. I wish the seller would have posted a shot of the cone.

    I had always thought 417-LF was Alnico. I had never actually seen one.

    AFAIK they were only used in Stanley Screamers

    See "Large Two Way"

    I think it just looks like a 12 inch 421 from the front
