Re: The Altec User's Board Free Marketplace !
hello all,i thought i would break the posting ice and post my ongoing need for some(one or more) altec dts 645a-f or altec dts 945a-f system(s),complete or parts.this would include the mty trapazodial cabinets or completely outfitted with all of the components.i know altec had to have made more than the six complete systems that i have been able to acquire.i believe the roadrunner case company made the cabinets for altec.they are not willing to deal with a unaffiliated (altec that is) entity,although the altec corporation is now defunct.maybe it has to do with legal liabilities.i do not know for sure.thanks for viewing my post and please excuse any misspelling on my part.darrell

Free 828 cabinets in rough but restore-able shape. Made from 3/4 inch plywood. Very solid. They are blocking my entrance into my garage and have to go. I really don't want to chop them up.

Retiring at 70, lightening the load...
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.

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.

WTB- Rear covers for 802/806/807/808 style drivers. They can be the old style or new style. I need at least one, but would be interested in up to 3. It?s ok to have mixed or matched new and old style.
I don?t need terminals, just the cover.
I know Bill sells new covers, but if I could find some a little cheaper I would prefer that.
Oh and they can be green or black.
