Model 19's in Ohio--original horn foams?

Great price (so far). They look to be in nice shape and have what I'm guessing to be the original (deteriorating) horn foams. I'd replace them with a new pair from the Darsts.....

VINTAGE PAIR ALTEC MODEL 19 SPEAKERS ALL ORIGINAL | eBay

They are a four hour drive for me (each way). If I didn't already own two pair of 19's, I'd be auditioning these!

Wow, original hang tags on the crossover knobs, now that's something you don't see everyday! Only two bids as of now but I'll bet someone is ready to snipe at them.

Somebody's gonna be a happy camper in a couple of days.

You called that one right--someone did snipe them. They went from $930 to $2080 in the last two and a half minutes of the auction!

Indeed, I can't disclose what I paid for mine .......what happened is that I bought the 802's and horns from him and he asked if I wanted the woofers for a very low price, I jumped. He then tossed in a pair of 19 clone cabs. The cabs ae gone to a local Altec guy and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

I saw that the bidding on the Ebay'ed solo Iconic was at $15 K. There must be a lot of love for that particular model.
