Ok Grills are in...I might fiddle with a few tuning changes like making the slots in the back an inch wide instead of 3/4 just to see how that sounds but other that that, I think They're done.

Cradeldorf, Great thread!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!! Very cool that these actually look like something that altec would have made!!!!
Nicely done, though the distorted picture makes it look like a widescreen RPTV.

Loud is Beautiful if it's Clean! As always though, the usual disclaimers apply to this post's contents.
If you put a false grill in the lower portion covering the baffle, they'd look like giant upside down model 15's.
Very handsome build!
How about some Altec badges to support the team?
I actually have been thinking something like that. I want vintage looking ones though since my 604's are 1954 and a 1964. I'll check Flea bay.Originally Posted by bowtie427ss
I like the looks of these but clearly cheap knockoffs.

I'm impressed that I can now hear all the little under the breath innuendo's in movies now. I also feel like I know what you guys are always praising about the vintage Altecs. And when I crank them up they don't feel like my ears are gonna start bleeding from being so loud but the vocals and guitar plucking sound...I don't know how to describe it...absolutely no distortion?? Very Linear sounding...maybe is how I would describe it.
I just put a bid on these.
