Pretty unit. Not seen one before.

That's something I've never seen before. Thank's Magnarc.
even tho it's an "E" version, you'd think a working 755 would be quick to get a bid at 80 bucks
That thing is super cool. Thanks for posting!
Back in January? A pair that were just shells, no driver. Went for $300.
Nice find--I love the history of stuff like that--just imagining a pair of those Altecs on someone's patio back in the 60's. Hmmm, the seller is in California, maybe that speaker was in Hugh's grotto back in the 60's!

It's just a cute object, I really like it. Almost worth having as a conversation piece.
Sometimes we obsess over 515s and 288s and forget Altec made some really cool stuff!
audio by goodwill, glad there is another one out there, now to get a pair.... I must have missed it then (or was away)
Maybe...... I don't recall the details. While interesting they're not really my style.
