Vintage Altec Electronics

[SOOTSHE]

Hi all,

I happened to pick up some old Altec electronics from a company that was about to dispose of them. I've tried to determine if any of it works, but my first attempt proved that the amplifier had had the circuit boards removed.

I'm not at all familiar with the workings of electronics, so there's no possibility of me getting them going. Was wondering if anybody out there would have a use for them? Don't want anything for them - Just looking to see them go to someone who can use them.

Here's a list of some of the components & I'll post some pics in the near future.

1593B amplifier
1606B Mixer/Amp
1609A Bi-Amplifier
1611A Mixer/Amp
129B Amp
361B Amp
1599A Mixer Extender
1692A Mixer/Preamp

There's also a couple of Altec Acousta Voicing equalisers.

Hi John, email sent!

Where are you?

Yeah, I saw he changed his username........ darn, I didn't realize he was outside the US. That Bi-amp would have been a nice toy.

Where are you?

Yeah, sorry guys.....Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Australia. The bi-amp was the one I was hoping to get going too, but the circuit boards inside are missing.

John what components look to be complete ? Can you send me some Pictures ?

Hi AB,
Well they all look complete, but I had the Bi Amp checked out by a tech & found the circuit boards were missing. I think this would suit someone who either has the technical knowledge or is prepared to spend some money to let someone have a look at them & determine if they are working or not.
I'll try to get some pics up in the next few days.

Cheers,
John

I wonder if that 1609A would use the same board as the 1594A.
