Buidling an Altec Library. Scanning, collecting.

[voice of the theater]

I found the 1595A amp interesting. I had thought that the 1590x was the highest output of that series. I wonder how it sounds.

Here's a past ebay auction for one:

Wow-$100 sale price--someone got a deal.....

I think I've seen the 73 before...... or maybe Altec reused some of the pictures. The other catalog has all sorts of stuff I've never seen, like the telecom equipment.

Yeah, I really like all of the Altec literature on that websibe--the 1968 catalog in particular is chocked full of cool stuff I've never seen before--a good candidate for our library..... I also got a kick out of the typical installations they list at the very end of the 1968 catalog--some cool places even though it's a drop in a bucket compared to a complete list. How many of those airlines have gone under?

Maybe, maybe not...... That's a solid state amp. The 100w 1594s are pretty good, and I have an idea the 50w 1593s are decent, but the 200w 1590's are reportedly best left for MI use. I think that's what someone here (Bfish?) stated when the more common amps of the series were brought up. I have no idea on the 1595, as it wasn't mentioned that I can recall.
