Single 288H.
Doesn't produce sound, assuming needs diaphragm Looks good. Will try to get pics up soon.
$75 and actual FedEx charges.
Open to people who have been here a bit first. If no interest then likely to eBay.
Sorry man. My Santana's are keepers.
I vote for putting 100 rounds in the Crown

Pair of excellent condition Altec 288-16H compression drivers. Altec Lansing 288-16H horn drivers are the last of the famous 288 drivers made with an ALNICO magnet and tangerine phase plug for better high frequencies. It's been forty years since the 288Hs were last made and they continue to be widely regarded as the best compression drivers. They are much rarer (made for just one year) than even the highly regarded 288G?s. The serial numbers are 122 and 140. They are very efficient and operate with amplifiers at 1.5watts. They, like the 288G?s are one-third larger and extend the upper frequency limit by 2,000 cps compared with previous 288s.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Frequency 500-15,000 Hz
Sensitivity 109db/1w/1m
Diaphragm Aluminum
Throat Size 1.4?
Voice Coil Diameter 2.8"
Weight 29.25 lbs.
Although they probably did not need it, I had both drivers remagnetized and new aluminum diaphragms installed by Great Plains Audio.
Condition of the bodies and rear covers is outstanding. The drivers have all mounting hardware and gaskets.
These drivers are a great addition to the Khorns with an 805 horn or the 311-60 horn.
Asking $1,250 or best offer.
I am looking for a single 515B/C frame for recone. I have a late model 515B (with 16" frame) and am looking for a mate. The plan is to get them both reconed at GPA at the same time
Thanks much!
It is with great reluctance that I've decided to sell my M19's. We moved into a condo 3 yrs ago and they're simply too big for the room. I've held on to them because I wasn't sure if I would like condo living. Looks like this is where we will stay, so it's time to down size.
I bought these speakers about 5 yrs ago. After buying them I checked the resistor values in the XO. Many were no longer close to the specified value, so the resistors and capacitors were replaced. Other than that, I have done no modifications. I haven't opened the cabs and don't know the models of the horns/drivers.
Cabinets are oak veneer, and look quite good considering their age. Certainly not perfect but not many dings. Pics are available to interested buyers.
Price is $2200 and that is pretty firm. Thought I would offer them here to people who love Altecs, before listing elsewhere.
I greatly prefer local pick up in San Diego. However, if the buyer arranges a shipping company to pick up, pack and pallet the speakers I am willing to be home to assist.
I have too many other "toys" I should also get rid of, so please, no trade offers. I can be contacted by email dthagerty at aol dot com

I am looking for a Model 14 crossover (gen 2 to be specific). Recognizable by the 2 on the circuit card. Also has only one inductor on the board. The cap values should be 2uf and 10uf.
I am restoring a pair and found one crossover but prefer another matching gen 2 board. I don't want to modify the original series one boards unless I come up empty in my search.
Thanks, Nick
Hello, I'm looking for a pair of Altec 416-16B in good to excellent condition. Thank you Mar
Two modern ALTEC A7-500 installed 16 years ago in Minneapolis. Last batch of ALNICO drivers on the 16" 416-8B woofers with stepped magnets. ALNICO 802-8D compression drivers on 511B horns with N501-8A L-Pad adjustable networks - all original to this pair.
Beautiful 3/4" plywood 828B enclosures have 4 perfect VOTT decals, original ALTEC Theater-Gray paint, and skid rails on the back. I'm replacing the missing grille cloth and horn bracket painted to match - a work in progress.
Labor of love for me - I was the ALTEC-PRO midwest factory rep 1974-75. Please call me (10AM - 8PM) for more details at 612-928-5788 or 612-388-2365 - I talk much faster than I type!
Cheers, and Happy Listening!
I am trying to put together the system I had 35+ years ago, of which a pair of Altec Segovia 874-A's were a part. If anyone has a pair for sale or has seen some for sale, please let me know. Would prefer they were in good working condition as I'm not experienced at repairing and the like.
WTB Altec 604G/604LN/604HPLN/Urei 604 with metal annular slit phase plug. It needs not have a good cone or diaphragm. -FOUND

FOR SALE IN TUCSON: (2) A-7 500 systems with JBL 2235 subwoofers installed, original grilles, original MDF cabinets (828?), foam filled behind horn walls. Could use a coat of paint, but otherwise decent shape. 416-8As and 802-8Ds refurbed by Great Plains Audio. I tri-amped them, so no crossovers installed. 3 sets of gold plated posts on rear. Somewhere, I have crossovers - N501 is the number as I recall - they?ll be included too.
>>>ALSO: I found a pair of re-furbed JBL 2245 18? subwoofers for these systems, but never installed them. These are impossible to find and considered the best subs for VOT cabs. They?re included too. Local pickup only! $3000.00 OBO for everything or will part out.
I have (2) 1234 musical instrument systems, refurbed drivers, horns, crossovers, and miscellaneous stuff too. I even have (2) resin Tractrix horns designed for Altec drivers by StereoLab in Germany. I?m downsizing and just can?t keep all this wonderful gear. : - ( I would love to see it go to someone on this board - the home of true Altec lovers!
I may not get back here often. Email me if interested in any of it. [email protected]. Thanks!
If you do decide to sell separate components i am interested in your JBL 2235H woofers and will like to see what you have.
Regards Anthony

I need to make some room for other speakers. I am selling my Altec 817 setup.
The bass cabs are factory Altec 817a with two Altec 921a woofers in each. The woofers have been reconed to 16 ohm which makes the overall value 8 ohm per bass cab.
The horns are JBL 2360 with Renkus Heinz SSD-3301-8 drivers. The drivers have the orginal diaphragms.
This set is currently set up for biamp but could also be run off a passive xover. I will include either a 2 channel (plus sub) active crossover, or a pair of Altec n501-8a crossovers with the set.
I also would be interested in breaking up the 817 cabs separately. I mainly want to get rid of them to get the space back.
The whole set is listed on ebay for 950$ but I would take 750$ from a hostboard member. I would consider using uship as long as the buyer pays for all shipping. The speakers are located in Saint Augustine, FL.
I will consider trades for large format horns, or small/large format drivers or diaphragms

Looking for a single 511B horn, doesn't need to be pristine as I will be cutting the horn mounting flange off so even one with a damaged flange would work. I'm looking to build a set of 511E horns to try with my 291-16K large format drivers.
Shipping is a bit of a killer on these so I'm looking for as cheap as possible. Besides I have been advised that it's a waist of time but I'm curious enough to still want to try it.
So have an old unloved 511B sitting in the shed/basement? I'm looking for one.
Thanks

On Edit: One is on the way!
Hi
Looking for a single 292-8a.
Also looking for a single altec/gpa phenolic diaper (working or blown) to see if I can jimmy something up for my rca diaperless drivers.
Cheers

Still on the hunt for these. Any help would be appreciated.

Pair of Altec 616 duplex woofers in good working condition. These were checked out by Northwest Speaker and given a clean bill of health.
They have original cones and the original diaphragms.
The 616 is a hybrid of a few different speakers. It uses the Altec 411 frame, with a JBL LE15 AlNiCo motor and cone. The HF driver is an AlNiCo 806a.
These sound very similar to the Altec 605. IMO they sound better.
Right now the drivers are not in cabinets. I could include some 612c clone cabs for an extra 100 bucks. They are the cabinets in the pictures.
I am asking 450$ or reasonable offer for the drivers. I would also consider trading for other Altec drivers, cabs, or horns. What do you have?

Hello,
Does anyone have a decent face plate and some meters for an Altec 9440A amplifier? Would also consider an entire amplifier too. Let me know?
thanks

As many of you know, I am looking to build a set of Altec small format field coil drivers. I have a cast pot 802 that I dismantled to get all of the dimensions from to give to Hentai in Japan for magnetic circuit simulations and to design a new pole piece and coil.
I was dismayed to find that this unit has been damaged,someone has damaged the front of the phase plug behind the bug screen and used way to long screws to hold the diaphragm on. This bent the retaining plate very badly. So my search for one matching driver has turned into two of the old cast drivers. Either 802 or 808, doesn't matter as the pots are the same. I have limited funds, but I'm open to trades. Does anyone have some old drivers? Don't need to be pretty, I can clean them up. Actually, I'd rather not cannibalize a good looking set if I can help it.
Thank you
On Edit: Looks like I found a very early 808-8A driver, SN 00954, should be here by the end of the week. Willing to trade for an 808/802 cast pot driver.

I have a pair of Altec Cabinet 828 ? Custom Built by skilled cabinet maker using Baltic Birch Ply 3/4? for sale.
It is in excellent condition, I recently built this cabinet for my personal use and I hardly used it. I ran this with 515B/416-8B, 288C/802D drivers and 1005B/511B horns.
Considering the size and weight, local pick up only. I live in Columbus, Ohio. Please let me know if you have any questions or more pictures.
Asking Price - $400
Thank you,

These are the Don Kelle designed HR9040 fiber glass horns designed for the Altec large format drivers. The flare end is 39.5 x 18 inches! Due to there size, I'm not interested in shipping. They are BIG! I received these in a bit of a lop sided trade to help my old friend's widow out. If I could get 250.00 or trade for some interesting Altec gear or even tube gear I'd be happy.
Think of the block party you could have!

looking for a pair of altec 421's and a pair of 811b's. The 421 are to be reconed, so a blown pair is fine.

Hello,
I have the bass horn parts from a pair of Magnificents that I need to find a home for (15" woofer). Very good condition, and perhaps perfect for that project you have in mind. I imagine these are fairly complex to make on your own. I'm in the south SF Bay Area if you want to pick up locally. If you are not local and seriously interested, then I can box up and check shipping cost. I really don't want to recycle these....

Looking for a mate for my single 288G driver. Am interested in a single 288G, or 291B, with or without a diaphragm.
The driver does not need to be in perfect shape, as long as the VC gap looks good
