Nice Combo

[voice of the theater]

I know they're not exactly high end, but they just struck me as a cool vintage combo especially with the head included. Of course, it depends on the reserve and bidding how worthwhile they are but some of you pro sound and/or musician guys out there in particular probably know what I mean -- I bet (if in good shape) this combo would sound great for vocals or Fender Rhodes, etc. and the six channel head really makes it a cool looking vintage combo (to me, anyways)......

The best thing is the speakers in the columns...not bad for 8 inch full range. Tweet is mediocre. Nicely made 5 kHz xover, but the L-pad is wired as input volume, easy enough to rewire.

Head is not so great...doesn't have the Lo-z ins, and the reverb tank is bad in that one...I just sold it's twin in better shape about a year ago for 50 bucks..

Were it local, and I had energy to go get it, I'd buy it for the speakers and off the head for 20 bucks or give it away...

Head you want is the 1214a

Yeah, the 1214A looks like a sweet head--do those pop up for sale very often?

'Zat mean you want one?

I got one several years ago in great shape for a C-note. The kicker with any used mixer is the quality/condition of the pots and switches.

When my 1214 broke told the redhead was going into town to have my head examined....

She felt it was about time.

I am yet to see an L-Pad in an Altec speaker actually wired as one. Did they not wonder what the 3rd terminal was for?
