OK - just got off the phone with Paul - they're still making the inserts so seems all is swell - one less job for me :Thumbs up:
My business is custom foam grilles - did much of the replacement foam grilles for Altec owners (models 7, 9, 15, Valencia, etc.) when they were in OK and still do them today.
Nice! Glad the phone number I gave you and Altec Best is the right one and that you can get the inserts OK......Quote:

Is it possible to get the contact information? I can't seem to reach them ,maybe I have a wrong email address.
Probably won't hear from them by email - they are an older couple and not really that computer oriented. They make these foam parts mainly as a sideline.
UPdate: I will be posting a phone number by next week (he wants time to build up some inventory).
as promised, number is 704-466-3616
I ordered a set from them and am disappointed in what I received - they are not using the right type and grade of foam IMO - even painting it with the wrong kind (very smelly) type of paint sooooo I will be looking into making these again using the correct foam (and non painted) as I used to.
would something like this work:
Sonic Barrier 3/4" damping material
Just received and installed foam for my Model 19's that I got from a company called
Foam Speaker Grills
P.O Box
746 Evart MI 49631
A beautiful product. All foam crisp and cut to fit.
Like others noted the foam does project about 3/8 of an inch into the horns on these also. I could easily exacto knife them to fit.
I got the reference from Great Plains Audio. They were pricy at $100 but they are a good product.
