Ha! The high frequency horn and felt dust cover are missing, as can be seen through the grill cloth. Another interesting aspect of this system is the means of holding the fiberglass in place. See those perforated metal discs? These are Western Electric parts which had been used as rear vent covers on their cone speakers. Altec Lansing produced their versions of the W.E. drivers after 1950, but used only cloth for the rear vents. They must have received boxes of these metal discs from W.E. as they used them sporadically to hold fiberglass in place for several years.

I'm nearly positive that 604 has been drifting thru the pages of ebay for sale as a raw driver for at least a few weeks, the description is the clincher for me.

Uhhhhh...... I feel like something is missing.

Thanks for posting Magnarc, my memory isn't what is used to be. I thought the pasted descriptions were more similar. After review, i'm reminded how turned off i was by the seller of the raw one as he wasn't even sharp enough to cut the information on the multi-cell horn section since it is non-applicable to his 604.

No Bowtie, it is just a case of "Make A Sale At All Costs" ! Nothing more than a scam artist.IMO it is people such as these that we need to remove from the auction/audio selling sites.I just copied and pasted a qoute from his listing.This is his description:

"Original grill, driver, crossover, etc. Just restored cosmetically. The speaker has has one owner and has never been over-driven". That is total rubbish,any audio place worth it's salt,would have re-installed the horn.Every 604 from the factory came with the sectoral horn for the 604C AFAIK.
