    Altec 604B's. One has original cone the other has a replacement cone. No crossovers. I built a custom set of speakers (stonehenge III) with custom crossovers in light oak wood. Will sell speakers without cabinets

    I also have 2 802-8G's with 23744 diaphragm. What I have is the top to 2 model 19 speakers (bought without the bottoms) and Altec 811 horns if your interested. Will sell 802-8G's alone

    I also have a 604C with original cone and original crossover if you're interested.


    I have a set of model 19's that I listen to and some additional Altec's and need to move the extra stuff out to a good home.

    418 are good speakers but they aren't pro versions of the 416.

    The only thing they have in common is the frame. Maybe the terminal posts and voice coil leads.
    Your neighbors called. They like your music.

    What would potentially be of interest, are "horn treatments".

    The could e.g. be foam 'lips' around the openeing (mouth), or actual plugs intended to fill the interior (or portion thereof) of particular horn designs.

    e.g. see: http://www.hostboard.com/forums/f700...rn#post1803598

    The plugs would in many cases require 3d shaping ability to match the interior contours, and specific densities of 'reticulated foam' are desired.

    If that's in the cards, I'd like to hear more.

    Horn surrounds

    I've made and sold a few but quit offering them as they were a PITA to make.

    Now if I could get some help for my business...
