    'Alert' (3) 816A's (?) in PHL

    * 'Perfect' for that 3 channel system you've been wanting to setup. ;-)

    Huge ALTEC Voice of Theater Speaker Cabinets

    Not mine. Though if you are making a trip this way for them, feel free to ping me.
    They are not too far.
    I will be putting some of my stuff up shortly... (on the classifieds page most likely)


    * 'Perfect' is in the eye of the beholder. :-)

    ** I'd've posted this to classifieds, but we are limited to 2 posts iirc.

    The guy's certainly not doing anyone any favors by throwing out the drivers. Hopefully they were cheap replacements.

    $33 a cabinet seems pretty reasonable though.

    My point is that we've lost original Altec drivers, because they most likely needed to be reconed. If they were run over by a cement mixer, fine........ they're worthless. I doubt that was the case here.

    True.

    Eh, could have been tossed prior to his obtainment of them, or just a convenient way to fend off the inevitable question about it.

    Knowing of the seller, I doubt they'd've done so themselves, but you never know of course.

    I contacted the seller and he said the drivers were "5 something" exact reply.So I'm thinking 515's ! I guess people don't realize they can be repaired.

    I've been in contact with him too. The replies I've gotten suggest that he's either clueless (to put it mildly/nicely) or he's trolling me.
