Altec Lansing Model 19 Cabinets! Avail Birch Oak Walnut - eBay (item 250769246412 end time Mar-07-11 14:31:11 PST)
I wonder if this is one of our members here. Too bad they don't mention/plug GPA in their ad--I think it might help them to sell more of these things if they mention the fact that brand new drivers are still available. How does the quality look to you guys? I don't see any bracing..... At $700 I certainly don't consider them a "steal" but I'm sure the materials aren't cheap and they are fairly labor intensive. Seller is in Atlanta, Georgia. I know it's a big city/region, but GM -- do you have any idea who this is? I guess that's kind of like meeting someone from Australia and saying "Do you know so and so? He's from Australia too"! He does seem to be an Altec guy though so I guess that narrows the field down (very) slightly. I found this horn in his other items for sale....

I'd love to see GPA build cabs like these and offer brand new 19's again but they've got their work cut out for them and are doing a great job providing and repairing the drivers. Not to mention potential legal factors. I guess that leaves the cabinet building (one of the "easiest" ingredients to replicate at home), up to us.....
