Altec 603

VINTAGE Pair Altec Lansing 603-B Speakers 1951 15" Dia-Cone Great Condition! | eBay

Haven't seen a pair of these in a while -- I would think they're probably pretty rare (in good condition)...... Anyone ever heard a pair of these? Judging from the specs and graph in this link (below), it's no 604. I see it's a diacone, what's the difference between that and a duplex?

A lot better price than this one:

$1500 a pair....IDK he might see it. : /
Although I do see that almost every screw in the back panel has blown out where they screw into the cleats.

Maybe close, the cabinets are where the money will be. In better economic climates i've seen them bring 1K empty. However, i have my doubts about them going that high. IMO&E, the 603 is one of the few Altecs that's better off forgotten than remembered.

Yeah, I agree--it's nowhere near as good as the 604--probably only worth any money as a collectable (and for the cabs)......

Love the style and seeming practicality of those cabs. Missed (priced) out on the big ebay sell off in central PA last year.
M600's are not bad to look at, but I likes me a removable back!
