    Help me to identify these !!!

    Hi all,
    I need your help to identify these speakers or drivers. I bought them without any other information but only an Altec logo on the grills. They are vintage (1960/70 ? ) with 15" paper cone woofers. I have no idea what Altec are these and if they really are Altec woofers. They look like but I don't know.
    Thanks for any help.

    Yes they are Altecs, looks like they are in decent shape.Looks like Madrids with the 420-Y dia-cone woofers.They sound good but don't feed them a ton of power.

    Thank for the information. You are right. I found some information and they are Altec Madrid and the woofers are like new. They looks and sound perfect. How much do you think is the current value for them ??? I tested them and my condo was shaking. The sound quality was great.
    Thanks.
